She was raised around sword smiths and says she was \u201calways in awe and fear of the powerful objects\u201d they created. Furthermore, her dad was often welding car parts and other metal objects when she was around so she grew up feeling comfortable in a metal shop.<\/p>\n<p>Ando\u2019s pieces are meditative, reflective, and immersive. She transforms sheets of burnished steel or aluminum to get subtle gradations in color, so that her paintings often appear like abstracted scenes of still water or airy clouds. In this way, her work deals with opposites. The metal is heavy and tough and requires difficult work in order to tailor it to depict something light, elegant and peaceful.<\/p>\n<p>As Ando explains, \u201cI have a deep appreciation for the dynamic properties of metal and its ability to reflect light. Metal simultaneously conveys strength and permanence and yet in the same instant can appear delicate, fragile, luminous, soft, and ethereal. The medium becomes both a&nbsp;contradiction and juxtaposition for expressing notions of evanescence, including ideas such as the transitory and ephemeral nature of all things, and the underlying impermanence of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1436\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1436\" style=\"width: 323px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/08\/miya_ando_setsunai_blue_36x36inches_aluminum_dye_resin_2013_miya_ando.jpg-copy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1436\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1436\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/08\/miya_ando_setsunai_blue_36x36inches_aluminum_dye_resin_2013_miya_ando.jpg-copy.jpg\" alt=\"piece of artwork\" width=\"323\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/08\/miya_ando_setsunai_blue_36x36inches_aluminum_dye_resin_2013_miya_ando.jpg-copy.jpg 656w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/08\/miya_ando_setsunai_blue_36x36inches_aluminum_dye_resin_2013_miya_ando.jpg-copy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/08\/miya_ando_setsunai_blue_36x36inches_aluminum_dye_resin_2013_miya_ando.jpg-copy-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1436\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>Miya Ando,&nbsp;<br \/>Setsunai Blue, 2013,&nbsp;<br \/>aluminum, dye, and resin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1435\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1435\" style=\"width: 321px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/08\/miya_ando_Kumo_cloud_48x48inches_stainless_steel_pigment_2015_miya_ando-copy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1435\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1435\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/08\/miya_ando_Kumo_cloud_48x48inches_stainless_steel_pigment_2015_miya_ando-copy.jpg\" alt=\"piece of artwork\" width=\"321\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/08\/miya_ando_Kumo_cloud_48x48inches_stainless_steel_pigment_2015_miya_ando-copy.jpg 840w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/08\/miya_ando_Kumo_cloud_48x48inches_stainless_steel_pigment_2015_miya_ando-copy-298x300.jpg 298w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/08\/miya_ando_Kumo_cloud_48x48inches_stainless_steel_pigment_2015_miya_ando-copy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/08\/miya_ando_Kumo_cloud_48x48inches_stainless_steel_pigment_2015_miya_ando-copy-768x773.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1435\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>Miya Ando, Kumo Cloud, 2015,&nbsp;<br \/>stainless steel and pigment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some of the concepts tied into her art, like the one\u2019s she mentions above, come from the Zen Buddhist ideas of nothingness and total absorption into one\u2019s work.
