Artist / Kimi Sakaki
Born in Wakayama, Japan. Having spent their childhood treasuring a mixture of corresponding senses, the beauty and severeness of nature, and daily life in the air, the sound, and the time around Kimi Sakaki have deeply influenced Kimi Sakaki's creation.
Kimi Sakaki mainly draws children (as an icon) with various elements, as a vehicle of expression or a device like a mirror. Sakaki had many solo exhibitions in Japan and abroad, and also have been active in alternative fields forming a creative unit "S+N Laboratory." In 2019, Sakaki published a book of collected works" KIMI SAKAKI twinkle".
