Koh is a New York-based oil painter. Originally from Tokyo, Japan, she is one-sixteenth French. By the experiences of living in Europe and the US, she moved to New York in 2016 to explore people's mindsets in an increasingly complex world that lies beyond culture and gender.
Through her oil painting, she expresses the concept of contradicting elements: life, death, and the complex psychological spaces in between. Her work is heavily influenced by the vibrant energy of New York City and captures the nuances of the world surrounding her and the complexities of life. She aims to communicate the idea of contradiction and spirituality that resonates with the viewers.
