Audrey Kawasaki


Oscar Wilde once said, "Beauty is a form of genius." Art is not only appealing because of its esthetic nature but also its display of an artist's genius, his or her exceptional creativity. Audrey Kawasaki has become a modern genius and an indie favorite for her distinctive style and ability to juxtapose innocent and erotic elements in her paintings.

She was born on March 31, 1982, and she studied fine art at Pratt University in Brooklyn, New York for 2 years. Her technical background is reflected in her precise and consistent style. Kawasaki's work has been described as both captivating and haunting. She portrays women as sensual yet vulnerable creatures. Her choice of medium is primarily oil on wood, which gives her pieces an unique ethereal beauty. Her technical style is influenced by Japanese manga and Art Nouveau. Young faces, pouted lips, and bedroom eyes are key features of the girls in Kawasaki's portraits. Sensuality, nature, and entanglement are themes running throughout her work.
