Women in Art by Women of Art - Harumi Hironaka

Harumi Hironaka is a Peruvian-Japanese painter and illustrator currently living and working in Sao Paulo.

She lived her teenage years in Japan, where she was influenced by Anime and Manga: ¨that’s how it all started.

I wanted to become a manga artist¨.

 'Harumi is a technically gifted artist, whose art leans towards Japanese Manga but also represent contemporary female themes and their struggles and journeys.

Her art is distinctive and the subjects painted represent strong and vulnerable characters in a Grunge Art and gritty style.

Harumi is a master of representing character and using colour.

I have been a huge admirer of her art for many years and look forward to how her art evolves.'
