Biography
Paper-cutting artist YUKARI
Yukari
Paper-cutting artist
She was born in Nagano, Japan in 1980.
When she was young, she used to draw a picture as she liked. She loved that time.
When she was 32 years old, one of the most impressive point came in her life. Her soul was replaced and that woke her artistic talent up. After that, she met a soul mate teacher who gave her much support to change her life. Finally, she found her own way to live and got a new life as a cutting artist in 2012. She learned cutting art through self-study.
The potential curiosity of childhood let her use the gift of arts.
After she became an artist, She created more than 200 works in just 5 years.
She forces on only light and shade without all of the colors. The simple expression gives people a deep impact and precious messages for them.
She can create and express both boldness and delicate lines in just a piece of paper. These are big features of her arts.
