Nanami Azuma Joins AIFA

AIFA is thrilled to start exhibiting the great painter Nanami Azuma.

Born in 1997 in Chiba, Japan, Nanami Azuma grew up surrounded by creativity with her mother being active in the fashion world and her brother a web designer. Initially, Nanami got attracted by design studies, but her passion for drawing led her to study art. She graduated from Tama Art University in Tokyo in 2022 followed by a master’s degree in Oil Painting in 2024.

Creating her paintings is a meticulous process that begins with drawing individual lines using a paintbrush. From these simple structures, she constructs intricate compositions where lines join to form shapes, and shapes interact to create space. Each line is carefully considered, and colours are selected in response to each other, layered to create depth and vibrancy. Repetition is central to her work, yet it is far from mechanical processing.

Kintsugi Workshop

16 January 2026

AIFA Gallery, in collaboration with Ms Mooser, a specialist in traditional Kintsugi, invites you to explore one of the fascinating aspects of Japanese culture. More than just a technique for repairing ceramics, Kintsugi embodies a philosophy: Wabi-Sabi, a celebration of imperfection, transience and the beauty of the traces of time. A true immersion in contemporary Japanese culture. Guided by Ms Mooser's expertise, each participant will have the opportunity to enhance a piece of ceramics, transforming fragility into brilliance. It is also an opportunity to experience a moment of slowness and contemplation while discovering the depth of Japanese art through the various works on display in the gallery. Since 2018, AIFA's mission has been to promote Japanese art beyond its borders, particularly in Switzerland. The art of Kintsugi is a unique example of this: it is not just a technique, but a philosophical approach that invites serenity and reflection. Surrounded by contemporary creations, you will be at the heart of a dialogue between tradition and modernity, where each piece reflects today's Japanese sensibility and aesthetics. Practical details: Dates: 19 and/or 26 February 2026 Location: Galerie AIFA, 6 rue de la Poste, Verbier Times: 2pm-5pm or 6pm-9pm Limited places – registration required Price: CHF 200 per person Registration and contact: REGISTRATION OR info@aifa.art
