Artist statement
Numata, born into a generation of digital natives using the Internet on a daily basis, exploring ways to move back and forth between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space.
Mainly uses computer-generated images in installations, paintings, and digital collages.
While using the "analog" method of expression of constructing an image by arranging children's toys called Iron Beads one by one, also creating a gap that can only occur digitally, like a computer bug.
Focusing on the real world, which is beginning to change due to the augmentation of virtual spaces such as VR, AR, and 3DCG, with the goal of reciprocating between reality and virtual space.

© YUKA NUMATA - Q How did you become an artist?
- A When I saw contemporary art for the first time, I remember a wide variety of people from different countries were expressing themselves in a wide variety of ways. Although I do not understand the language of another country, I was able to understand and consider things just by looking at the artwork. And I felt that contemporary art, in my mind, was replacing into another language through the tool of artwork. That is when I started thinking that I wanted to be an artist who could inspire people around the world.
- Q What is the most important thing you value most as an artist?
-
A
In any case, it is to create something you find interesting.
When my work is evaluated, I can reconfirm what I have done was not wrong. So I try to create what impresses me the most.
- Q Do you have a message for people around the world?
-
A
Art enriches our hearts and minds.
It is also a tool that can connect culture to the future.
I hope you cherish art and get message with your heart.
