FUMIO MORIYA
FUMIO MORIYA, born in 1938 in Ehime Prefecture, is a Japanese painter, a member of the Kōdō Bijutsu Association, and a professor at Osaka University of Arts. After training in the United States, he transitioned to abstract painting, incorporating American artistic trends while developing his unique approach to abstract expressionism. In his thematic series such as "Ato" ("Traces") and "Retsu" ("Lines"), Moriya masterfully combines rich colors with diverse forms to express different periods and concepts. Notably, the interplay of squares and triangles serves as an intriguing element in his compositions.
