As a child, she enjoyed reading the small art books that her father, who was an art lover, bought for her and became attracted to artists such as Klee, Kandinsky, and Matisse from an early age. She still likes vivid colors. By the time she graduated from Musashino Art University studying craft design, she decided to become an artist. Rather than becoming a designer, she felt she was more suited to being an artist involved in all aspects of the creation process. It was a dream come true to be able to make a living by weaving tapestries. At the age of 30, She held her first solo exhibition, which led to a gradual increase in public art commissions. After making tapestries for 20 years, she began to realize that there was no demand for weaving. In order to respond to orders in various architectural spaces, she had to abandon her obsession with technique. This is because woven fabric is not necessarily the most suitable object for every location.

What kind of materials can be discovered in the future, and what kinds of works can be created using them? This expectation is a major motivation for immersing oneself in creative activities. Moving her hands, thinking, fantasizing. Kazuko Saeki’s originality is born from the harmonious combination of memories of her past creations and things she is most interested in at the time. Inspiration is dormant in each of us. It can be awakened with a little stimulation. When this happens, it is the artist‘s job to make the ephemeral tangible – for the benefit of mankind.
