“Pop for me is an expression of what I see or what I like or what inspires me. Something colourful, bold, attractive, that cheers and makes people ask ‘what is that?’. It uses techniques such as colours and mixed characters, and makes people wonder.”...
“Pop is mostly elements from popular culture that are remastered and/or transformed in order to create new, powerful messages. The inspiration for my illustrations comes from Japanese culture, such as its folklore, food, music, theatre, wood prints, sculptures, manga, pottery and proverbs.

“Pop culture shapes our perceptions, values, and dreams, broadening our knowledge and evoking emotions tied to specific moments in life, serving as a refreshing escape.
