Momo YOSHINO is a contemporary artist born in 1988 in Tokyo, Japan. Through her work, she uses optical illusions in order to allow two dimensional paintings to create virtual space within exhibition sites. Seamlessly connecting the works to the spaces in which they are shown, she aims to expand the limitations of painting as a medium and enfold viewers into the painting space.
