～Profile～
Born in Chiba Prefecture. Began creating resin art in 2024.
With the ocean as my theme, I create works by pouring resin into frames to capture the essence of waves, light, and the ripples on the water’s surface. I value the depth and sparkle created by this translucent material, carefully crafting each piece by hand.
Through my work, I strive to convey the sense of calm one feels when gazing at the ocean, as well as a soothing sense of relief that allows the mind to unwind amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Artist Popo's Commitment
I create artworks with a marine theme, pouring resin into frames to capture the essence of waves, light, and the ripples on the water’s surface.
I carefully craft each piece by hand, cherishing the depth and sparkle that can only be achieved with this translucent material.
My goal is to create a soothing experience that allows viewers to let their guard down and find a moment of respite from their busy daily lives.
I hope that through my art, you can feel the same sense of calm you experience when gazing out at the ocean.
