Hikaru Shimoda, born in 1984 in Nagano, Japan, creates artworks that radiate a dazzling and sweet visual charm. Using bright candy-colored palettes and delicate cartoon-like brushstrokes, she depicts innocent children and fantastic scenes. However, beneath the cute exterior lies a profound sense of melancholy, crafting a unique world where cuteness and horror coexist. Deeply influenced by Japanese manga and animation, her artistic style skillfully employs vibrant colors to express contrasting emotional tensions, resulting in a visually striking and thought-provoking aesthetic.
