Helena Kaori Maeda

Helena Kaori Maeda is a visual artist who combine 2D and 3D elements through drawings, paintings, and kinetic art. Her work reflects themes from nature and philosophy, exploring both micro and macro perspectives. In her vision, everything coexists. Kaori's art is a fusion of symbolism, abstraction and figuration, utilizing a variety of techniques and materials. She often creates kinetic sculptures in collaboration with Frank Hietbrink.
