Makiko Kuranaga 

Since I was little, I have loved to draw.
However, I became discouraged from continuing after receiving disappointing art class grades in school and stopped my creation.

Around 2017 I realized my feelings ”I love art and creation" which I forgot when I became an adult. Then I decided to follow it and started to my creation again.

In 2018 I was at my lowest point. By traveling, I escaped my source of pain and entered a process of self-acceptance. In Penang, Malaysia, I was given the opportunity to paint murals and to join a creator's market. This is where my artist career as MAKIKO CREATION was born.

We produce paintings and custom-made murals for individuals, and domestic and international companies. Through art, I have learnt that everyone should be able to express themselves. When I'm in front of a blank canvas, I can be who I am. Through my own art, I would like to create a world where each and every person can freely express themselves and move forward lightly.
