Keiko Yanagisawa

(b 1988, France. Lives and works in Paris)

Yanagisawa channels her energy into traditional Japanese style and colour with a modern and personal twist.She finds her inspiration mostly from nature; which has been a powerful influence throughout her career to date. “The natural world surrounding us is the single most intricate and perfect form of art;” she says. Yanagisawa's work typically depicts flora; interiors and architectural details through elegant and fragile pen drawings; which are then brought to life by her choice of contrasting; strong colours and hues.
