Kayo Nomura
Abstract artist born in Nagoya. Having lived abroad since childhood in various regions including the United States, Nomura enjoyed a global corporate career before turning to art. Her firsthand experience of diverse cultures sparked a fascination with energetic and emotional realms that transcend language, inspiring a unique artistic practice that incorporates both words and imagery. Her evolving practice includes Dialogue Drawing® — portraiture through dialogue that explores the inner self — and live drawing sessions accompanied by live music, through which she captures the energy of the present moment.
Selected solo exhibitions: Hase Gallery (Nagoya), Gallery Echo-ann (Tokyo), Guli Guli Gallery (Osaka), Green Ray + Marüte (Taiwan)
