SAORI KANDA

Born in Yamaguchi Prefecture / Raised in Iraq and Dubai
Along with a strong admiration for Japan, he comes into contact with the aesthetic sense that is rooted in various lifestyles around the world.
An artist whose theme is "liberation of the joy of the soul" and who expresses his way of life itself.
In 2020, she started a series of works with the themes of "Goddess Blossoming" and "Sacred Eros" and began working as a Self-Love activist.
She confronts "sex" as the source of life in the context of life and death, and expresses herself through a wide range of media, including photography, dance, painting, music, video, and poetry, incorporating the importance of loving oneself into her work.

As a "dancing artist" who combines music, dance and painting, she paints large-scale canvases using acrylic paint on the themes of "Blooming of the Goddess" and "Sacred Eros." These themes arose from the artist's recognition of the existence of various personalities within herself when she looked at herself as both an artist and a woman. After struggling with an unmanageable self-image that included an aggressive, masculine side and a soft, erotic side, she resolved to live true to her soul. She believes that being prepared to truly love the "life" that has been given to you and no one else will give rise to deep confidence and bring healing energy to those around you. Her paintings, which combine concrete figures such as women and dragons with abstract pastel-colored works, radiate the radiance of life energy that lies beyond the balance of the masculine and feminine that we all carry within us.
