My name is Kuro, and I’ve been immersed in the world of art for over a decade. But let’s get one thing clear. I deliberately distance myself from my creations, allowing the work to speak for itself, untethered from the persona behind it. Who I am is irrelevant here — it’s the art that matters, the message that cuts through, the emotion that lingers.
Over the years, I’ve experimented with various mediums, but it’s the mixed media, collage, and photography that truly captured my spirit. My work dances on the razor’s edge where surrealism meets minimalism, where abstraction twists and turns into something both familiar and alien. It’s a delicate balance, a raw exploration of form and chaos that defies easy categorization.
Color? I don’t need it. My art is stripped to its essence — monochrome, with cold, detached hues that whisper rather than shout. I blend analog techniques with digital manipulations, merging the tactile with the virtual, the real with the unreal. This fusion births a visual language that’s as much poetry as it is image, a narrative built on three guiding words: POETRY OF THE OBSCURE MIND.
At the core of my work lies a singular, relentless theme: the fracture within and without. It’s the split between who we are and what the world demands us to be. It’s the internal discord that mirrors the chaos of the external world. My art delves into this rupture, tearing open the layers to expose the raw, unfiltered reality beneath.
So here it is. Art that doesn’t ask for permission, that doesn’t apologize for its existence. Art that challenges, that questions, that leaves you unsettled. If you’re looking for neat definitions or easy answers, you won’t find them here. What you will find is a doorway — one that leads into the uncharted territory of the mind. Step through, if you dare.

KATYA TSOY X KURO
Looking for Love on Jackals’ Hills
You are drawn to where the ringing emptiness resides, where the cold of the night bites into your skin. To where the predatory faces emerge from the torn pages of the past. Where every step is on a path of others' expectations, and the air is saturated with the sharp, almost metallic taste of inevitability.
She looks straight at you through the fragments, lines, brushstrokes, and shreds of herself. Not naive. Not weak. Not broken. She knows: amidst the torn paper and wild reality, something genuine can be wrested. Or you might simply burn to ashes in this search.
This is a story about finding yourself amidst chaos. About beauty born from destruction. About learning to love, even if all around you are jackals and an icy wind.

He Who Remains Watching Over Megiddo
This dawn bathes the world in the last light of a fading star. I am still here. Still watching. The days blur into a haze devoid of flesh and blood, the nights seep into the cracks of the earth, as if bleeding from the veins of an exhausted giant. And I stand — a sentinel of a dead kingdom, a ghost among charred ruins.
Once, there were universes here. Footsteps echoed, voices laughed, life pulsed. Now, only the wind licks away their last traces. This world breathed as long as it was allowed. Now it lies here, on the torn ribs of buildings, beneath the broken fingers of streets. It did not die instantly. It groaned in agony. But no one listened. No one returned to bury it. They left. They all left. But I remained. A witness to the decay of eras, hopes, lives, and love.
I stand and watch. Because someone must. With my gaze, I mark every new crack on the gutted earth, every shard of the shattered sun that lies among the wreckage of days when everything around us mattered.
Do you see it? Stop. Do not hide your face. Do not look away. Let your eyes see it, let the ash fall from your lashes. When the last fire dies, when the last scream fades into the void, we will still be here. Watching. Feeling. Remembering.

ANGER
Do you feel it, yes? That slight tingling beneath your skin. Like a thin, delicate knife with a peculiar tenderness runs its blade along your ribs — not cutting, but promising. Like invisible fingers tugging at the threads inside you, testing how tightly you're stitched together.
He breathes your breath, beats with your heart, laughs with your laughter. He waits patiently, like a lurking beast. You're afraid to even look at him — because you know he'll become your mirror. And what will you see there? A beast? Or yourself?
But come on, be honest. How much longer are you going to tremble? How much longer will you suppress this fire, pretending it's not burning you from within?
And here's the main question. Do you have the courage to release him? To tame him? To subdue him? To make him bow his head before you?
Or will you remain a puppet in his hands?

Sarah's Silent Teatime and a Dream of Schism
A fierce chaos simmering beneath the gentlest gestures. A gathering of fragile details sharp enough to tear worlds apart and shatter illusions. Here, calm and despair strut hand in hand, like lost lovers who refuse to fade.
In the Blur of the Bathroom at the Party
The party’s chaos seeps through the thin door, loud and relentless. Shadows slide down the walls, the smile reflected is a damn lie. Everything here reeks of fake, except maybe me. Or maybe I’m just as lost.
Fingers on cold tile, thoughts bleeding into the water, no rules, no escape. This isn’t about the party. It’s about what’s cracking inside while the laughter outside never stops. Am I going back out? Who knows.
6 chapters of one personal story.

REGICIDE
It’s the rejection of everything that held me back. The ashes of old delusions are left behind, and all that remains in my hands is freedom — the freedom I always feared. Freedom to live for myself, not for someone else.
