Kazumi’s work is as multifaceted as her life. Born the daughter of an ambassador, she was exposed to a world of diverse cultures, languages and the arts from an early age. Having lived in various embassies, she became a true global citizen, absorbing the flavors of each place she visited. 

Kazumi’s upbringing, alongside her love for classic Hitchcock films and vintage records, gave her an eclectic lens through which to view the world. Her art bridges the old and the new, reflecting her inner conflict between the timeless elegance of vintage nostalgia and the raw, modern energy of global experiences.

Her personal connection to the past blends seamlessly with her deep appreciation for contemporary culture. Kazumi’s works embody a celebration of contradictions – of the old and the new, of the refined and the rebellious, capturing the human experience in its most multifaceted forms.

"Art should never be confined by time. It’s a mirror to the past, an anchor to the present, and a window to the future."

Her constant exploration of identity and place in a world that moves increasingly faster allows her art to become a meditation on belonging. Kazumi remains elusive, yet her work resonates deeply with anyone searching for beauty in imperfection. She is a wanderer at heart, both in her life and in her art, constantly seeking to merge the wisdom of the past with the possibilities of the future.

Kazumi’s art is a delicate fusion of nostalgia and forward-thinking. It speaks to the heart of those who know that the past is never truly gone – it merely evolves. With each stroke, each digital layer, she weaves a tapestry that brings the classic into the present, creating a visual dialogue between the old-world charm of mid-century cinema and the chaotic, interconnected digital world of today. Kazumi invites the viewer to stop, reflect, and let go of the boundaries between time, culture, and art.
