Concept

The works of Emika Tsunoda often feature human faces or parts of the body, which naturally draw the viewer’s attention. For her, the human figure is merely one of the compositional elements, just another piece of the puzzle. However, when human figures are used, they inadvertently create a narrative on the canvas, contrary to the artist’s intentions. It is through the tension and fusion of these elements that her paintings transcend the mere reproduction of three-dimensional space, establishing themselves as independent entities on the two-dimensional plane.
