Natsuki Itagaki, born in 1990 in Argentina, is a contemporary Japanese artist. Growing up with parents who were both veterinarians, she had frequent close interactions with animals from a young age, which continues to inspire her artwork today. Her artistic style is unique and poetic, using traditional Japanese painting materials to depict dreamlike landscapes. The layered paint and gold leaf enhance the sacred quality of her works, conveying the sanctity and preciousness of life.
