マチスに、フォンタナに触発され画家を志したと聞く。
巨匠たちの微かの模倣の面影もなく、絵画の本質を自づからのものに消化し、
純粋な精神世界を形成している。
いつからか、「青」に拘はり独自の色としての探求に沈潜してからいまは油彩の境を脱し、
青墨の黒色にも似た清楚な青と化して幽玄にして、その画境は深い。

Though it is said that Sasaki Hiroko was inspired by Matisse and Fontana to become an artist, her work is not, in the least, concerned with imitating the grand masters Rather, she takes in the very essence of painting itself and makes it her own, creating,with her canvases, an immaculate spiritual world.
Sometime during her career, Sasaki Hiroko became fascinated by the color “blue” and has been absorbed in the search for her own, original “blue.”
Now, as she strives to go beyond the boundaries of oil painting, she often transforms her canvases into an expanse of pure blue.
In its purity, Sadsaki Hiroko's blue resembles the darkness of the seibou ink.
This is a from of Yugen(幽玄）.
It is, indeed, profound.
