Hikari Shimoda is a Japanese artist who is known for her pop-culture-inspired paintings of youthful characters with mesmerizing eyes. Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing her about her works, inspirations, philosophy, and current exhibition at Corey Helford Gallery. The original interview is conducted in Japanese, and for the sake of clarity, I opt to convey the sense of the text instead of doing a word-for-word translation.
