Seiko Harima was born in S. Korea and lives and works between Los Angeles and Japan. Harima’s work offers a poetic meditation on the beauty, fragility, and translation of organic forms into lush abstraction. Harima creates on her natural worlds marked by vivid colours. Through layered brushwork and luminous color, she renders landscapes not simply as representations of place but as living atmospheres—spaces where memory, emotion, and environmental awareness converge.
