Artist Creates Multi-Layered Paintings Steeped With Personal Memories That Build on Each Other
Shaped by her personal history, Japanese artist Nana Funo creates paintings that capture her memories and experiences in their layers.

Funo starts with an initial base image, which she then covers with layers of paint depicting recurring motifs like figures, animals, flora, and fauna.
