sairiyoh.art In Residence program Mima – Nature

sairiyoh.art is a platform service where artists create art products using reusable materials such as secondhand items and waste, and sell them online. Artists and creators can become sellers and sell their own one-of-a-kind art pieces made from reusable materials.

The sairiyoh.art In Residence program is a program for artists interested in creating art products using reusable materials. The program aims to have artists translate their creative ideas into reused art and create art products to achieve a sustainable society.

Artists from all over the world can participate in the program. Participating artists can create art products inspired by Japanese culture, scenery, or cultures and landscapes from around the world, using reusable materials such as old furniture, clothing, and waste.

The art products created by the artists are sold on the sairiyoh.art online platform, and the revenue from the sold products is returned to the artists. Furthermore, if the artists’ works match sairiyoh.art’s sustainability concept, they may be introduced in sairiyoh.art’s advertising and other materials.

The program requires artists to create art products using reusable materials and their own ideas and techniques to achieve a sustainable society. Participating artists can increase their awareness of sustainability and contribute to realizing a sustainable society through sairiyoh.art’s concept.

    I offer to welcome you to my home which is still under construction but habitable! The space available is enough to set up a quiet working place for your creations. I am also a creator and I am currently looking for new artistic encounters, which can inspire me in this new home which needs to be recharged with good vibrations... Shared kitchen and bathroom too, I just ask that we agree so that everyone feels at ease and comfortable. In France for 13 years, I am of Italian origin and I studied fine arts in Milan. I create jewelry and I make paintings...solar and bear, I am attentive and respectful of everyone's needs for solitude or sharing 😉 Rivers, sea and wild nature are not far away.
