Tomie Ohtake (1913–2015) was a Japanese-Brazilian visual artist celebrated for her contributions to abstract art in Brazil. Born in Kyoto, she moved to São Paulo in 1936 and began her artistic career in her late 30s under the guidance of Japanese painter Keisuke Sugano. Ohtake's work encompasses painting, printmaking, and sculpture, characterized by vibrant colors, geometric forms, and a harmonious balance between Eastern and Western aesthetics. Her "blind paintings," created while blindfolded, exemplify her exploration of intuition and form. Ohtake's public sculptures are prominent landmarks in Brazilian cities, including the Monument to Japanese Immigration in São Paulo. She received numerous accolades, such as the Order of Rio Branco and the Order of Cultural Merit. In 2001, the Instituto Tomie Ohtake was established in São Paulo to honor her legacy and promote contemporary art. Ohtake continued to create art until her passing at the age of 101, leaving an enduring impact on Brazil's cultural landscape.
