Karin Kitaoka Online

Born in Tokyo, Japan, Kitaoka grew up surrounded by traditional Japanese arts, including kirie (paper cutting) and origami . She initially studied graphic design at Tama Art University in Tokyo, where she developed a fascination with negative space and the relationship between two-dimensional plans and three-dimensional forms. Her shift from commercial design to fine art occurred during a trip to Scandinavia, where she was inspired by the way Nordic winter light filtered through ice and snow—an effect she later sought to replicate with paper.
