About Miyabi

Based primarily in Thailand and Japan, Thai-Japanese artist Miyabi explores the quiet intersection of nature, spirituality, tradition, and philosophy—primarily through oil painting, but also throughout all her creative pursuits such as film photography, curation, and creative direction. Her time living and studying her Bachelors in Milan and Paris played a formative role in shaping her creative taste and visual sensibilities, resulting in Miyabi’s creative taste and artistic direction highly influenced by the blend of her Japanese roots and European culture.

Miyabi’s works often carry elements of surrealism and visual sublimity. Within each piece, subtle cultural, spiritual, and historical references are softly embedded. Within each piece, subtle cultural, spiritual, and historical references are softly embedded. For her, art is not just for the eyes, but for the soul. She wants her works to be felt, not only seen.

Recurring motifs in Miyabi’s work include the symbolism of birds and the eyes within her portraits. Crows, in particular, hold deep personal meaning as spiritual guides and protectors, often appearing as quiet observers throughout her pieces. Her figures, too, watch in their own way, their eyes painted with restraint, neither fully open nor fully closed. Rather than offering overt emotion, they leave space for interpretation, inviting viewers to feel their way into the work. In these subtle cues, a deeper emotional connection unfolds, gently.
