Artist's Bio:

Shinichi Maruyama was born in Nagano in 1968 where he took photographs of his native Japan throughout his childhood. After graduating from college, he joined Hakuhodo Photo Creative, an advertising company, where he polished his craft. He published two books in 2001, The Spiti Valley and Spiti , both documenting life in Tibet. With the acquisition of new technological developments, Maruyama moved to New York in 2003 to dedicate his career to capturing the fluid moment of water in ink by using strobe light technology. Personally, I am excited about his work because it leads me to the idea of creating digital images of my own of capturing colored water mixing with oil and turning them into oil painings...his work is fluid, alive and inspiring.
