Goto Yumeno is an emerging painter born and raised in Tokyo, and currently based in Kamakura. Referring to her practice, she writes, “The purpose of magic is to recreate myths. What I do is not imitation, rather I channel inspiration. In other words, I recreate myths through my painting.” The contrast between dark and vivid colors is characteristic of her paintings. The motifs are mainly female figures, symbolically depicting modern goddesses. By layering many layers of paint and expressing the depth of color, it invites the viewer to feel floating. The thickness of the paint is like a rock face. It is a projection of her belief in nature.
