Maya YONESYO
She first learned animation techniques at the Saga Art College. After working for 6 years in the art department of the Osaka City Junior High School, she entered the art program of Kyoto City University of Arts to continue her studies of animation. During her time there she also studied in England. Even now, she continues to research and produce animations.
What do you do when your dreams come true?
Suddenly, one day when I was worrying about being an adult, I remembered something that I thought about when I was a child looking at the sky.
I asked my niece who is in the 3rd grade and I believe.
"Believe you can do it." Please remember what she said.
The artist uses a sketchbook binding in place of taps, synchronizing them with music and lovely children's voices to create abstract forms and colors in a work that has all the elegance and beauty of the Canadian animation of the past.
There are so many "characters" being produced and promoted today that abstract works such as this one are like a cool, refreshing drink of water.
Though short, this is a work of extremely high refinement.
