Milno Atelier
Japan
“I’m not good at asserting my feelings or expressing myself in words, so for me, art is the one way I can express myself without feeling stressed.
Also, for me, art isn’t just a way of expressing myself, but a form of communication that lets me put a smile onto the faces of all of the people I hold dear.
Even now after getting married and becoming a mother, I always feel a yet unknown part of myself slumbering within me.
Delicate and bold, reckless and timid. The most mysterious thing in the world to me is myself.
I may spend my entire life searching for myself through art.” – Milno
