KIYORA (Artist name ）
Paper cutting artist.
Born in Japan, she graduated in architecture.
This has influenced her compositional structure, proportions, and lines.
Through bold, patterned contradictions, the compositions of Kiyora’s meticulous paper cutouts express light and dark, movement and stillness, making paper a plane or expression and an outlet for creative expression, a source of energy in itself.
He has won awards in the UK and Italy, and is active internationally. Her work has been exhibited in Tokyo, New York and London.
