Shota Nakamura’s Art Bursts With Color

Shota Nakamura is a Japanese artist currently living in Berlin. He was only 12 years old when he learned that art is more than just drawing and crafting. Thanks to his art teacher, he realized that art can be used to convey messages and that’s what he’s been doing ever since.

Nakamura is inspired by environmentalism, feminism, philosophy, music, neuroscience, and many other topics. His style is colorful and distinctive.

“I don’t know where I’m going to reaching, I’m just trying to reflect on my emotions or mood with color and try to draw of discover things that I really want to come across – reflecting and questioning,” he revealed for It’s Nice That.
