Hiroko Matsushita is a Japanese visual artist based in the Netherlands.

She is particularly fascinated by visual effects that seamlessly transition between two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. While frequently using paper as her artistic medium, her initial interest in paper stemmed from its immediate transformation from flat to three-dimensional with a simple fold. Exploring this adaptability and interaction, she delves also into the interplay of shadow and light.
In her artistic journey, she seeks to blur the boundaries between flat and dimensional, capturing the essence of transformation and interaction within her distinctive visual expressions.
