Anne Dufourmantelle, L’envers du feu

This quote particularly speaks to me.

I’m Caroline KAISER, artist, printmaker and visual storyteller, based in Luxembourg (Europe) and Kyōto (Japan).

I was born an artist and believe it to be my purpose and destiny

All my creations start with a pencil on paper, followed by water colouring and inking, often in combination and transformed into artworks for print, using either traditional japanese woodblock, letterpress or contemporary giclee printing techniques.

Seeing my work displayed on different papers, especially japanese washi paper, makes my heart jump with joy.

I love to draw, but I am a printmaker at heart

Studio Mick is derived from ‘Les Mille Idées de Caroline Kaiser’ M I C K, my very first studio name. It literally means ‘The one thousand ideas of Caroline Kaiser’.

When I decided to shorten the name, the idea came up to only use the first letters, in order to secretly keep the message of the ‘one thousand ideas’ that define me and my studio so well. Some people call me Mick and it makes me smile.

Passionate and authentic, I create to never ever lose the twinkle in my eyes

Welcome to my enchanting universe where the magic happens and art comes to life
