Yano Yoro’s first painting in the Netherlands: For my friend Carmen’s birthday, Rocío and I wanted to surprise her with an unique gift. Knowing her love for original artworks and nature, we had a clear idea in mind. We just needed to decide on the central theme of the artwork, and the one you see here resonated with us.
I will never forget Carmen’s joyful expression as she unwrapped the present. Her repeated expressions of gratitude, saying “Thank you, girls”, filled the room. Carmen placed the artwork on her bedroom dresser, allowing her to admire it from her bed. Whenever she gazes at it, she shares that she feels the beauty and the tranquility it conveys, serving as a reminder of how much we care for her. Undoubtedly, it was an unforgettable gift for the three of us.

Behind the pseudonym Yano Yoro is the brush of Susana Llorente, a Madrid native currently residing in Muxía (A Coruña). Her artistic journey began early in her father’s workshop, where he was a skilled craftsman specialized in goldsmithing and metal enameling.
She pursued studies in Interior Architecture, Graphic Design and Human Anatomy Modeling. For 15 years, she devoted herself to sculpture and doll-making, with her creations finding homes in private collections in North America and Central Europe. In addition to her extensive teaching career, she curated numerous exhibitions in museums and galleries in Madrid and other Spanish cities.
Her fascination with oriental culture and Zen art led her to explore Sumi-e, a Japanese painting technique used in Zen art. As a disciple of Li Chi-Pang, a renowned contemporary artist and master of traditional Chinese painting, Susana became a Sumi-e teacher in 1997, collaborating with her mentor.
In 2010, she moved to live in Costa da Morte region, Galicia, where she found inspiration in the wild nature and rekindled her passion for painting.
Susana’s artistic versatility is reflected in her work on rice paper, silks, and fire paintings on ceramics and porcelain. Her artistic approach captures the essence of the moment and the landscape, conveying emotions with spontaneous gestures, without hesitation, and employing a nearly achromatic palette.
Beyond her artistic career, Yano Yoro has maintained a consistent teaching role throughout Spain, conducting courses and lectures on Oriental Painting and the Chinese Brush Method in diverse settings such us schools, high schools, museums, academies and art galleries.
