玉分昭光生於1975年於岐阜縣多治見市。 2000畢業於富山大學教育學研究生院繪畫系。2004年泰國藝術大學特邀研究員、藝術家， 並於皇家藝術學院、拉瑪四世理工學院設計學院擔任講師。2005年為泰國藝術部設計視障兒童圖畫書「KAWI」，並從那時起就開始創作關於擁有障礙兒童的創作。

玉分昭光的創作關心著擁有重度障礙的孩童們。有些孩子無法說話，但透過藝術家與他們長時間的相處，變開始能了解他們的想法，並了解到人們其實不需要言語就能溝通。藝術家希望觀看者能從畫面中感受到生存的知覺，微風、流水、森林、家庭、微小的愉悅、動物、地景、耳語……就像他們感受生命的方式一樣。

Akimitsu Tamawake was born in 1975 in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture. In 2000, he graduated from the Painting Department of University of Toyama. In 2004, he was invited as a researcher and artist by the University of the Arts in Thailand, and served as a lecturer at the Royal Academy of Arts and the School of Design of Rama IV Polytechnic Institute. In 2005, he designed the visually impaired children’s picture book “KAWI” for the Thai Ministry of Art, and has been creating creations about children with disabilities ever since.
Akimitsu Tamawake’s creation cares about children with severe obstacles. Some children are unable to speak, but through the long time with them, artists can begin to understand their thoughts and realize that people can communicate without words. The artist hopes that viewers can feel the perception of existence in the paintings, breeze, running water, forest, family, pleasures, animals, scenery, whispers…just like the way they feel life in his work.
