Hey!

I’m Carole Ranko, a multidisciplinary artist and dreamer currently based in Japan.

My art is an attempt to collect what keeps us alive as humans on Earth; to remember what was before and still persists through colonial-capitalism, and to dream what is to come after. In relation to that, my main themes have been: what it means to be a human in relation to this Earth; deepening connection to spirit, ancestors, Earth siblings, and the unconscious; holding both darkness and light; how to find your way home.

My creative practice is what enables me to be in reciprocity with the universe. It is my way to breathe, to talk to everything that is not bound to language. Creating is a way for me to intake the miracle, beauty and responsibility of being alive on this Earth, and to share it with others. I consider myself a translator, a bridge, a passage.

My favorite mediums are illustration, painting, dancing, jewellery, embroidery, and animation.
