Kiyomi Inoue, Artist’s Statement Kiyomi expresses the inner life of her subjects, which are animals. Her art is inspired by nature and this inspiration began with long walks in the Japanese forest. Her work reveals the infinite imagination of these fragile, delicate yet powerful creatures. Kiyomi has been drawing anime and manga characters for as long as she can remember. There is a distinctive playfulness in Kiyomi’s tendency to animate the thoughts of her subjects, while rendering the subjects themselves in pencil in fine detail.
