Bio

Hello, My name is Maó! I was born in Tokyo, currently lives in Tokyo. After studying graphic design at a technical college, I worked as a graphic designer for an apparel company. 2012 I stayed in Australia for a year, and after returning to Japan, I ran an online store for nature-themed goods I created, but my desire to pursue my own painting has grown, and I am now I create my artwork while working in graphic design, illustration, and interior coordination.

My works are painted digitally and in oils, expressing the "yin and yang" of nature, inner light, happiness, inspiration, and sometimes the laziness, pain and sadness I feel, through innocent characters called "Carter" and landscape paintings.
