Aki Yaguchi is an artist based in Naarm (Melbourne), Australia. She creates these gorgeous murals and artworks with a figure as the main focus. I have been wanting to have her on my podcast for quite some time now! I think the work she makes is gorgeous and I have been really curious about who that figure is and what inspired it.
We discuss her journey into art and her works, how she has found running an art business, what her self-care routine is like, and what the future holds for her. It was a really lovely conversation, and I feel like even though Aki is going through a period of change - her new works after this period will be amazing and have that level of soul she's looking for.
ABOUT AKI:
Aki Yaguchi is a Japanese/Australian artist and illustrator based in Melbourne, Australia. Her art explores the interplay between her heritage and femininity, and is often centred around “Tobu Hime”, or ‘floating girls’; they are the visual representation of Aki’s imagination, a vehicle for her creativity, a mascot for her identity, and a friendly companion. The Tobu-Hime are a sign of good fortune and safety to all those who come across them. Her work spans across multiple mediums, including paintings, drawings, large scale murals, digital works, sculptures, installations, and apparel.
