Lia KIMURA (b. 1992, Shingu, Japan)
Young painter and designer. She grew up in Japan in a family with artistic roots. The painter's artistic explorations run in several directions, she explores the borderline between figural and abstract art, but also refers to the tradition of European portrait painting in a series of "destroyed portraits".Characteristic of the artist is the application of multiple layers of paint and building up the rich texture of her paintings. The works tell of emotions, often extreme, the experience of alienation, uncertainty or passing.
Her own experiences and situations observed in the environment, however, are not shown in a reportorial or photographic manner, but as a synthesized record of emotions. The artist's paintings can be found in private collections in Poland and abroad, are sold in recognized auction houses, are very popular at charity auctions, such as the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, and were presented at the National Museum in Krakow as part of the "Art Now" campaign. In 2017 there were two individual exhibitions of the artist's paintings in Warsaw, her works also appeared at the Warsaw Art Fair."
