About the Artist:
Born in Osaka (1988), Yusuke Shimomura has a truly unique background. After spending a decade playing rugby during his student years and later working in a ramen shop, he began his journey into papercutting in 2012 as a completely self-taught artist. His work stands out for its vitality and the fluid energy of his hand-drawn lines, reinventing the traditional style of Kirie. With an international career that includes three consecutive years exhibiting in Paris and workshops taught across the USA, Spain, and New Zealand, Shimomura is now sharing his talent in Portugal.
