Energetic Artist & Dimensional Guide

Translating frequencies into form.

Satsuki Shibuya’s practice emerges from the unseen. Rooted in stillness and attuned to subtle energies, her paintings function as transmissions—channeled expressions of resonance conveyed through color, form, and vibration. Each piece begins not with concept, but with presence. From this silence, energy flows into motion. Brushstrokes, pigment, and spaciousness become portals—entryways into heightened awareness, reflection, and inner alignment.

Rather than illustrating the visible world, Shibuya gives form to the unseen currents—to what is sensed through the body, spirit, and beyond. Her work opens a dialogue between dimensions: the personal and the cosmic, the ephemeral and the eternal, the physical and the energetic. These visual meditations invite not only contemplation but embodiment—offering space for attunement to frequencies that lie just beneath conscious perception.

Guided by a practice of intuitive listening—to silence, to spirit, to Source—her paintings become vessels for what longs to be expressed through her. Each becomes a living imprint of energy, offering moments of connection between the viewer and their deeper truth.

Her art lives where structure meets soul, where the invisible becomes tangible, and the unspoken begins to speak.
