Mika Shinagawa creates paintings centered around the theme, "What am I, and what is a human being?" Just as a baby touches and tastes the world to confirm its reality piece by piece, she seeks to reexamine and depict the world that appears commonplace.
In her works, she blends the Japanese way of seeing and depicting things with perspectives and styles imported from abroad, attempting to achieve an expression that resonates with her own sense of reality.
