Namiko Kitaura was born in Tokyo in 1977. She has had experience as a freelance photographer in London, in Tokyo, and as an artist in residence at Fabrica, the Benetton research centre in Italy. She produces distinctive images with a strong, personal voice. The implied Romanticism within her works is both abstract and absolute. The images contemplate each other sensually, with a sense of gracefull motion suspended in a non temporal framework.

She aims to visualize the almost invisible aspects of the human condition that lie below the physical, and their juxtaposition: passion in depression, comfort in sadness, tranquility in chaos and beauty in ugliness.
