“What I always say is that Japanese are like willow. We can be bent easily, but once you try to break us, it would not be so easy.”
Hiroko Sakai“Everybody has own gifts from God. You just need to seize the right time, right place and right person to be found.”
Hiroko Sakai“My body is tired as worn out rug, but my brain (if i had) is always full of curiosity, jumping around for seeking new funs. If they could learn how to be cooperative each others, my life could be way easier... sigh*”
Hiroko Sakai“ONLY' having the Gift, people appreciate this madness as Art. Everybody wants to have Art in their lives, but no body wants to have what the Art came out from in their lives...”
Hiroko Sakai“Wherever I wander off to, when I draw, when I paint, I get my life back. I am lucky that I am an Artist.”
Hiroko Sakai“The more I drive myself into the depth of my inside, the more things come up to my vision, visibly or invisibly... I even do not know if I am seeing them with my eye or with my mind. I just need to copy them on my canvases. But this mental process is always overwhelming. I often have hard time to deal with my emotion on this state. You could call this depression on surface? But actually, so many 're-birth' and 'reform' are going on on my thoughts, inspiration, philosophy...etc in the underwater. I believe this struggle make my art real. My art always comes from my emotion.”
Hiroko Sakai“When a mad man found some certain way to express his insanity in original way, he would get promoted to be called an Artist.... Wait, are you talking about me?”
Hiroko Sakai“my problem is that my body acts before my brain thinks... it sometimes brings me huge trouble, or also huge success. recently, my body and brain got come to an agreement. it may be far better to live this gambling life than living in boring average ...they at least make my art more interesting”
Hiroko Sakai“The privilege of struggling artists is ... the life being buried in what we can't really afford of* what a gorgeous life!!”
Hiroko Sakai“People say 'I love Artists', but what they really know about Artists? They've ever thought about sharing the real madness with us? I believe those extreme passions/emotions in me separated from the real world is the sauce to pull out the inspirations out of me that touch the core of people's hearts, which is usually wandering about deep inside of you unconsciously covered with the social taboo called 'common sense'.”
