Psychadelic Artwork Share (Hiroko Shiina)

9 posts in this topic

Hiroko Shiina's art is characterized by surreal, intricate compositions against black velvet backgrounds, exploring themes of eros, fatal romance, and the transience of life through symbolic imagery like skulls, fetuses, and flowers. Drawing from Vanitas and Memento Mori traditions, as well as influences from Japanese prints and Kusozu paintings, her work emphasizes meticulous detail and a ghostly, melancholic atmosphere. Her unique technique, reminiscent of Byzantine mosaics and Aubrey Beardsley's Symbolist style, uses subdued colors, coffee stains, and flowing hair motifs to evoke fluidity and transformation. Shiina's art invites viewers to contemplate life's fleeting beauty and the complexities of human emotion, offering a deeply personal, introspective experience that transcends the grotesque to liberate the spirit.

Hmmm...

I've noticed that I seem to enjoy themes likeย magic, magicians, dolls, puppets, the interplay between puppeteers and masquerades. I'm also drawn to tragedy, romance, psychedelic visuals, overly detailed designs, and "Alice in Wonderland"-style delirium. I love quirky, circus-like jester performances, dark and twisted elements, spirals, gothic aesthetics, mysterious fantasy, emotional intensity, surreal dreamscapes, haunting beauty, theatrical whimsy, grotesque visuals, masked figures, and hidden identities.ย There's a certain allure in the blendingย of melancholic beauty, This artist captures it really well!

Aspects of uniqueness and distinctiveness help as well. Thereโ€™s a certain air of nostalgia for a place Iโ€™ve never been to, yet it feels familiar like I should remember it. To be honest, thatโ€™s often how many of my trips feel, or heightened states of consciousness. It evokes a warm, comforting familiarity, even though it feels like something Iโ€™veย forgotten.

Gentle sadness, warmth, and pain that feels comforting and familiar, violin, ballet, the Nutcracker, clockwork-like aesthetic, haunted dolls, entrapment, and freedom, caring, letting loose, giving all of yourself away with nothing in return, desperately seeking love, ravens, crows, sparrows, losing a sense of home, childhood, nostalgia, longing to come back, losing identity, losing childlike happiness, brokenly trying to reclaim it, recognizing the child in everyone, fragments of persona, an eerie sense of lost love, something missing, putting back pieces of the self, emptiness, a broken doll, shelled like a vessel, shattered innocence, yearning for wholeness, fragile hope, isolation, keys to locked hearts, loneliness intertwined with memories, delicate yearning, melancholy woven with nostalgia, helpless surrender, echoes of past selves, and endless searching.
