KIYORA
KIYORA is a Japanese paper-cutting artist who transforms delicate sheets into intricate monochromatic compositions. Inspired by architecture, nature, and oriental art, her works explore the balance of light and shadow, strength and fragility, motion and stillness. She meticulously sketches before cutting, ensuring each piece captures a dynamic interplay of energy and rhythm.
Influenced by literature and music, KIYORA embraces “beautiful darkness,” a concept reflecting life’s contradictions. Her internationally exhibited pieces invite contemplation, meditation, and tranquility. Through her art, she seeks to individualize energy and create timeless expressions of movement, depth, and harmony.
