In her Selfies series, Emmy Asakura shows her restless and explorative mind and portrays enigmatic pieces and traces of herself. The lyrical-abstract style of Emmy Asakura’s self-portrait ‘Pieces of me’ is influenced by her love of dance. In many of her works one can find traces of that passion. When she paints, she is dancing around her canvas and lets her body be swallowed by it.
“Visualizing the sensual through the use of colour and brushstrokes is a fascinating game, but also a constant process of consideration. I create movement, a dance on my canvas.” dixit Emmy Asakura.
