yao visions

Welcome to the world of Yao Mikami.

I am creating from the space between the seen and unseen—where nature, memory, and consciousness flow into form. Originally from Japan and now based in Australia, my work bridges East and West, ancient and contemporary, conscious and subconscious.

Through natural indigo pigment and gum Arabic, egg tempera, I explore a slow, meditative art-making process. Each piece emerges through water, movement, and intuition—often guided by a dream-like state. On this channel, I share my creative process, from pigment preparation to painting on canvas and Japanese paper, as well as moments from my studio practice.

My work is an invitation to reconnect—with nature, with stillness, and with the subtle relationships that exist beyond words.
A space where the invisible becomes visible.
