Monipuolinen kuvataiteilija Nene Tsuboi syntyi Osakassa, Japanissa vuonna 1976. Valmistuttuaan Kyokon taidekorkeakoulusta vuonna 1999 Nene päätti matkustaa Suomeen. Syy Nene Tsuboin matkakohteen valintaan oli varsin persoonallinen, joten annetaanpa Nenen itse kertoa, mikä toi hänet tänne Pohjolan perukoille:

"When I was a child, my hobby was drawing. And when I become 10 years old, I bought Marimekko's kahvimuki. It has been my suosikki object until now.

When I finished my study in Kyoto in 1999, I wanted to go somewhere abroad - and I remebered that my suosikki design was from Finland. So I came. But then I found out that muki was designed by Katsuji Wakisaka, japanese designer. But I was already in Finland, so I stayed.

While I spend time in Finland, my visual language become much simpler and clearer. Maybe because I speak neither Finnish or English so well... my pictures were the language I spoke. Visual language."

Nene Tsuboi asuu ja työskentelee tällä hetkellä Helsingissä.
