AYA MARRAY

Japan

AyaMarray is a Japanese international painter born in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, and based in Antalya Province, Turkey, on the Mediterranean coast. She is exhibiting at the Venice Biennale 2026, Grenada Pavilion (Curator: Daniele Radini Tedeschi).

She sees art as a tool for world harmony and the Earth as a living entity. Her multilayered acrylic paintings blend Japan’s primordial memories with Turkey’s vast landscapes and ancient history, visualizing the Earth’s pulse, life’s vitality, and the tension between order and chaos.

After moving to Turkey in 2020, she has held solo exhibitions in both countries and expanded her activities internationally. Her Venice Biennale participation symbolizes her mission: visualizing invisible boundaries and fostering dialogue beyond nations, cultures, and species.
