Rima Fujita shares with us her process of portraying her vivid dreams through her unique painting style, and explains how Tibetan culture and Buddhism has deeply influenced her life and work.

After her introduction we will see a selection of Rima’s beautiful paintings.

This event was part of our Losar Tibetan New Years Celebration 2021

Known for her distinctive style with vivid colors on black surface, Rima’s works are extracted from her dreams and meditation process. They are ethereal and evoke a timeless sense of longing and peace, and yet if examined deeply her images trigger a powerful ripple of infinite emotions. 

As a contributing artist for a popular cultural television program, “At the Garden of Wordsworth” and “Adventure of Wordsworth” for four years, Rima’s work became renowned nationwide, and she showed over 500 works on a national network throughout Japan.

As a prolific full-time artist she has produced over 1,000 pieces in the last twenty years.

Rima’s life passion lays in her philanthropic work. In 2001 she established “Books for Children,” an organization that produces children’s books and donates them to children in needs around the world. She has created 4 children’s books and has donated more than 12,000 books to the Tibetan children in exile. All profits go to support the Tibetan children’s education. H.H. The Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu and Betty Williams, the Nobel Peace Laureates personally gave her special recognition in 2006 at the International Peace Summit in Japan. His Holiness The Dalai Lama calls her, “An artist who creates beautiful art.” Rima has won various awards internationally.
