EM!

Japan

Digital collage artist EM! (pronounced ee-em-ai) is a creative dynamo from Tokyo, Japan, who pushes the boundaries of digital art with her Psychedelic Pop Fantasy. Her work, a blend of painting, photography, collage, generative AI, and motion elements, whisks viewers into a vibrant, immersive wonderland. EM!'s unique collage-painting technique, inspired by various art historical genres, allows her to weave disparate elements into a cohesive, joy-filled visual narrative. Despite ties to Pop Surrealism, EM!'s work distinguishes itself through its optimistic vision. At the heart of EM!'s artistry is the Japanese concept of "Suki", or "LOVE", a motif she collects to infuse her vibrant collage animations with a sense of affection. Each piece is a testament to her boundless imagination, offering an unforgettable artistic journey filled with love, joy, and endless creativity.

After experimenting with diverse fields in visual arts, EM! discovered her passion for digital art. She’s journeyed from the tangible world of physical collage to the boundless realm of cryptoart since January 2021. Her captivating pieces, showcasing eclectic elements such as dancing figures, UFOs, and portals to other dimensions, have won international acclaim. While EM! currently lives and works in Melbourne, Australia, her works have been showcased in exhibits around the globe, from Australia to Japan, Canada and the USA. A testament to her talent and innovative spirit, she was one of fifteen artists selected in the Cultural Kaleidoscope Open Call at the Seattle NFT Museum in 2023.
