2015 “SUMMER”, Acrylic on Canvas, 606 x 727 mm, Madoka Kinoshita 2015

Madoka Kinoshita

Japanese-born illustrator Madoka Kinoshita grew up around anime, video games, and other cartoons as a child and began to mimic the style in childhood. She became an illustrator at age 23, and works with digital art, sketch art, and most famously large canvas artworks. She uses bright, pastel colors such as aqua blue, baby pink contrasted with thick, crisp, dark lines that bring out a sense of childish joy and innocence. Her famous canvas art is created through various layers of acrylic paint, carefully cut pieces of masking tape, and careful application of epoxy to keep all of her lines crisp. Her main focus tends to be on the large eyes of many of her characters as they are filled with many bright and colorful sparkles, creating an incredibly cute image. In some cases, this innocent style is contradictory to the actual subjects, creating many different levels of art. Her main goal is to make people happy when they view her art.
