Artworks by Yasko

Yasko Y. ENDO

Born in Tokyo, Japan. Currently studying classical painting techniques through the Distance Education Program of the Faculty of Fine Arts at Musashino Art University.

Her works are primarily created with oil paints, using mixed media techniques that incorporate dermatograph and tempera.

Since around 2022, her ongoing thematic series “Whispering Boundaries” has explored the idea of invisible borders between coexisting multi-dimensional worlds.

The title refers to the fragile, layered lines she draws to express these unseen boundaries—like nests of dust, barely perceptible but undeniably present.

Just as the air around us is real though invisible, Endo reflects on the possibility that other dimensions may exist right beside ours, overlapping but unseen.

She asks: What if it’s not that these other worlds don’t exist—but simply that we can’t see them?

Perhaps we share this space without realizing it.

This idea gave rise to her vision of Whispering Boundaries.

On the other side of these boundaries dwell figures from parallel dimensions.

Often depicted with skulls instead of detailed faces, these beings are rendered without fixed racial or emotional characteristics.

This intentional ambiguity allows them to exist outside of defined time and identity.

Each work becomes a visual record—an observation from this side of the veil, quietly documenting what may lie just beyond our reach.
