Original artwork description:

This work is inspired by the chaotic energy of contemporary Japan, where consumer culture, spirituality, and digital noise collide. Drawing from pop art, manga, and street iconography, it reflects how sacred and commercial imagery coexist within Tokyo’s urban landscape. I want viewers to feel both fascination and unease—to sense the absurd beauty and tension of a world where meaning is constantly distorted. Painting allows me to merge spontaneous linework with bold color, exaggerating reality into surreal narratives. The cartoon-like style mirrors the collision of East and West, tradition and modernity, capturing the visual overload and cultural hybridity of life today.

Materials used:

Acrylic, Ink
