イラスト・デザイン・原稿制作・​多重露光PhotoArt

＜プロフィール＞
1998年からイラストレーター、デザイナー、ライターで活動する傍ら、自分だけの表現を模索。2015年の秋、知人からのアドバイスをきっかけにデジタル多重露光に出会い、作品の制作をスタートしました。予想外の世界が現れる多重露光は本当に面白く、2017年の展示をきっかけに作品制作に本格的に力をいれるように。

現在は、複数の写真を描画モード（ブレンド）を変えながら重ねて、複雑な色や質感のパラレルワールドを創造していく、自分なりの表現スタイルでアート作品を制作し続けています。海外メディアについては、2018年のオランダのアート雑誌からスタートし、フランスやカナダ、ドイツなど、いくつもの海外アートマガジンやオンラインギャラリーで作品が紹介されています。世界各国のコンテストにも挑戦しています
 

Hiromi Kawano encountered the technique of digital multiple exposures as she sought to express her individuality in art. 

She found the technique in 2015 as she thought that expressions that reflected her sensibility lay outside the illustrations she drew for the clients. She was captivated by the fantastical world that multiple-exposure photographs create by superimposing two or more images in a single frame. Furthermore, digital multiple-exposure photographs that use a smartphone and computer instead of a camera to layer images allowed her to pursue her original expression since she had been familiar with digital art from many years of drawing illustrations on her computer. She took various photos daily and sought a singular combination of images that compose her work. The success of her solo exhibition in 2018 led her to set natural surroundings, including flowers, trees, light, and rain, as a subject matter of her work. She wishes to keep creating works that give hope and comfort to those who see them, taking inspiration from colors she found in rich nature in her childhood. Her works have been featured in different media and exhibitions, including French art magazine and TOKYO TOWER ARTFAIR in the spring of 2023. She also had her work introduced at Artavita Gallery at Artexpo in New York.
