NAOKO TSURUDOMÉ

Naoko scans and draws everything she sees. She is interested in animals, plants and everyday objects. What catches her eye, consciously or unconsciously, gradually appears in the process of creating the engraved plate. Combined, the various elements of her pure, stylized compositions form a singular, poetic universe conducive to storytelling and the drifting of our imagination.
 
The influence of Japanese art and civilization is evident in her fine, quirky and humorous work. But Naoko's love of the French language is evident in her delight in playing with its expressions and words to compose evocative titles that engage the viewer and stay with them.
