+ OVERVIEW

The artist consciously presents a soothing texture through materials and tones, creating a peculiar yet cute sense of contradiction that enhances the depth of interpretation. Her originality and profound thinking make her works captivating, allowing them to stand out in the contemporary art scene. "Inside Me" is directly painted by the artist on wood panels, showcasing a work that combines both flat and three-dimensional thinking. Moe Nakamura admits that she often develops her inspirations through sketches, which then transfrom into three- dimensional sculptures. As a result, her exhibitions frequently feature paintings and sculptures that share common themes and characters. In recent years, she has adopted a more open perspective, considering the simplification of froms to align with the natural properties of the materials, which should bring her

closer to the original intent of her creations. In this work, the composition features the figure's body in profile, following the curves of the wooden panel. It casts its gaze into the distance, with the heart and thoughts connected through the flow of hair,

as if reminding the viewer that only through honest reflection on the present can one gain insight into the true intent of their inner self.
