Introduction
Ms. Kurebayashi was first fascinated by horses when she was 7 years old. She has since been working with horses as her creative motif to be close to them (Owning a real horse is not a realistic option). As time went by, her artistic objective became clearer- to express the real beauty of horses. When she was a student, her life revolved around going to school in Tama Art University and an equestrian club. The Yuzen Dye, the technique Ms. Kurebayashi employs,is a hand-painted dye technique known for it’s mysterious luster, which is created when silk is dyed. Her keen visual insights and horse’ s vitality combine to give her works uniqueness unlike any other horse-themed artworks.
