ABOUT Artist and her work
This is an original painting by contemporary Japanese artist Hiromi Machida.
Hiromi is a contemporary Japanese artist based in Yamanashi and Tokyo in Japan. Most of her works are portraits of Japanese girls. Although they are uniquely drawn, her characters might remind you of  Modigliani’s portraits and Japanese Modern and also Showa-period animation. Rather than femininity or sexuality, which are popular discussions in today’s art scene, her subjects of those portraits are social matters and problems. Using innocent looking girls as a symbol, she talks about social situations and problems, such as air pollution, which are surrounding her at the present moment. If we look closely at the eyes in these portraits, we will notice the world that has been projected into their eyes. Her unusual style of painting and line drawing with modified shapes of girls are what we believe to be one of the latest in contemporary art.
