Biography・Cv




KIYORA. (Artist name )

KIYORA  is a Paper-cutting artist.
Born in Japan, where she graduated from Architecture.
This influenced the structure of her compositions, proportions and line.
Kiyora’s detailed Paper-cutting works aim to depict the changing pockets of energy that make up our universe.
Through bold, patterned contradictions, the compositions express light and dark, movement and stillness-using paper as a plane or representation and an outlet for creative expression:a source of energy in its own right.
Kiyora is based in Japan.
Her art works have been exhibited in: Tokyo,NY and London
