This painting shows a woman in bright orange robes with black circles and stars. She’s holding a red fan and a glowing lantern with flames inside. Behind her, a tree with white flowers stands against a dark sky, and a small animal peeks out from a fence. The artist used felt-tip pens, colored pencils, and even glitter to make the colors pop. The mix of bold patterns and simple shapes feels playful yet a little strange. Check out Shinako Sato to see more of her bold, mixed-media work.
