AIKO was born in Tokyo, Japan and has lived and worked in New York City since the mid 90’s.
After years of living in the US, AIKO has fluidly hybrid the essence of American contemporary art movements such as Abstractionism, POP Art, Graffiti and Street Art with the Japanese traditional aesthetic in which she was originally trained.
Her paintings and murals tell a story, playfully portraying femininity, sexuality and the beauty of human life and her historical importance is that she has the inside track to be the artist who unites Western and Eastern culture with her work.
