坪山小百合 Sayuri Tsuboyama（b.1983, Japan）
日本藝術家坪山小百合，生於福岡縣。她的油畫與版畫作品時常將清透的色彩層次彼此暈染，在人的肖像輪廓內外結合植物生長的意向，以極少而精准的技術，表現顏料在畫布上的自然性。
藝術家深信，人類應該從植物的原始性中體悟同樣根源於自然的原始性，進一步思考非人類中心主義的世界觀。坪山小百合2010年畢業於東京藝術大學美術系創作碩士（M.F.A.），於多所畫廊皆有展歷，並曾獲「Independent Tokyo 2020」二等賞。
Sayuri Tsuboyama is a Japanese artist born in Fukuoka Prefecture. She received her Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) from Tokyo University of the Arts in 2010. Working primarily in oil painting and printmaking, her works blend transparent layers of color and intertwine botanical imagery both within and beyond the contours of human portraits. Through minimal yet precise techniques, she evokes the natural quality of pigment on canvas and explores the relationship between the human body and the vegetal world.
Tsuboyama believes that humans should learn from the primal nature of plants, and that such understanding can lead to a worldview that transcends anthropocentrism. Her subtle, sensitive visual language navigates the porous boundaries between form and spirit, matter and nature. She has exhibited in various galleries in Japan and received the Second Prize at Independent Tokyo 2020.
