The new laureate in Painting is Vija Celmins (pronounced VEE-ya SELL-muns). When she talks about her work, she says, " I think I paint things I cannot say." Born in Riga, Latvia, shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, her family escaped from the Soviet army's invasion. They later emigrated to the United States in 1948.
She has been fascinated by the ability of a painting to have depth of imagery while also remaining flat. It is the duality of finding that these experiences could be created through her work that stimulates Celmins' artistic vision.

About JAPAN Forward:
JAPAN Forward is a new English-language news and opinion website run by the JAPAN Forward association Inc.
JAPAN Forward aims to present the true face of Japan, as seen from a wide variety of perspectives, to a rapidly-changing world where unpredictability often outpaces stability. Japan has long lagged behind other countries-all of which have their own points of view-in conveying her own take on the world around.
JAPAN Forward sets out to overcome misunderstandings born of linguistic barriers. In covering major news stories in Japan, along with key points of debate, current events, history, culture, and the arts, we hope to deepen the world’s understanding of the Japanese archipelago.
At the helm of JAPAN Forward is an editor who has decades of journalism experience in Europe and the United States, while our editorial team of native speakers hails from policy research centers, academia, journalism outlets, and more. This is the real Japan, in real English.
JAPAN Forward is operated by JAPAN Forward Association Inc., which has also established the JAPAN Forward Supporters Network to allow individual and corporate sponsors to join in our mission to keep Japan moving forward and build our recognition in the Anglosphere.
