Ayane Yamamoto (b. 1999, Tokyo, Japan) is a painter whose work explores the hidden complexities of family life - particularly the quiet tensions and emotional bonds between siblings, as well as the domestic space seen through their eyes. Her practice often delves into themes of vulnerability, anger, and regret, capturing the raw emotional undercurrents that shape human relationships, including her own. Working primarily in oil painting, Yamamoto creates intimate yet unsettling compositions that blur the line between tenderness and discomfort. Alongside her larger works, she enjoys drawing intricate miniature pieces using ballpoint pens, revealing a contrasting sense of precision and play. A graduate of Tama Art University (B.F.A. in Oil Painting, 2023), she has exhibited internationally, with solo shows in Tokyo, Los Angeles, Paris, and Norwich.
