Yuma was born in the high mountains of northern Japan, Hokkaido.
She is a self-taught artist who is a visionary and imbues her pursuits
in the world with her innate sense of spirituality.

Yuma surrenders herself to the spontaneous creation of imagery that
explores the mystery of life and the force of love that interconnects
the human family.

Yuma's figures and eternal gestures evolve with an uncanny sense of
Timelessness enhanced by the large scale of her work.

Atsuko Yuma Artist Statement: I am a self-taught natural artist.
I have been always interested in wonder, mystery, power of life and myth, especially history of ancient civilizations.

Our civilization is at a turning point now, this is why I think that we must learn from ancient higher knowledge the profound wisdom to survive and move forward and develop our deep consciousness as one with nature.

Creation is beautiful. I feel fortunate that I can express who I am.
I demonstrate spirituality using vivid exuberant colors flowing lines and serene images. My eternal art gestures are timeless and universal.
