“I work quietly. The surface tells you everything eventually.”
The artist
Figurative and still-life work. Calm, considered. A fixture of Osaka's emerging painter scene.

Made to Size
Kaoriwill paint a new original at the size you choose. Each piece is a one-of-one, marked as an Artist's Variant on its COA.
How Kaori works
Pastel is unforgiving once it's laid down, so I underdraw with soft pencil first. Then I layer — hard pastels for structure, soft for skin and light. I don't fix the final surface; I want the pigment to sit on the paper the way the artist left it.
