ARTISTS / Ayaïro
Born in Tokyo, 1991, Ayaïro is a Japanese artist known for her vivid and nostalgic painting style. Her works symbolically depict young children in the background of the dwindling Satoyama landscape of Japan, where she was born and raised. Her passion for her own roots is portrayed with genuine and colorful landscapes, mixed with adorable yet somewhat lonely images of children playing, evoking the viewerʼs own reflection and childhood memories. With a desire to keep the good old pure, Ayaïro continues to depict a pop world that combines nostalgia and modernity.
