Lion Fish

Piece description from the artist

I started painting a series of vividly colored marine creatures in spring 2020, when COVID-19 became a serious threat in the US. We were being challenged not only in health and economic aspects, but so many others as well, such as social, political, racial, spiritual… I started creating this series with the hope to inspire people to live more fully and joyously, no matter their circumstances. Life began in the oceans and we are still a part of this amazing living ecosystem, connected by this vast body of water.

About Minako Ota

Princeton, NJ

Minako Ota is an award-winning artist, born and trained in Japan as a traditional Japanese painter. She subsequently studied and worked in the field of painting conservation in Europe and the United States.

Her work is an ongoing metamorphosis of her own self-perception and worldview. Her experiences outside of Japan made Minako's artistic vision a hybrid of Asian and European cultures, and her works reflect these opposite worlds: she combines the Western painting techniques she mastered over years through conservation with the traditional Japanese motifs of her youth.
