Kaoru Samidare is a Japanese colored pencil artist devoted to fully analog techniques. In an era driven by efficiency and optimization, she deliberately commits to an unpolished, labor-intensive process to affirm—and personally embody—a clumsy yet sincere and deeply committed way of living. Her figurative works reflect the pain of living and the raw sensation of being alive, aiming to quietly pierce the viewer’s heart and linger beneath the surface.
