About the artist
Yoko d’Holbachie was born in 1971 in Yokohama Japan, and studied design and art at Tama Art University in Tokyo.
She has worked for almost 10 years as a freelance designer for advertisements, books and magazines, as well as doing design for the entertainment industry and video games. She began to exhibit her artwork in the United States in 2008.
Artwork Themes & Subject Matter
Yoko d’Holbachie’s finely rendered paintings include elements of Kawaii, Anime, Pop Art, and Surrealism which converge to create works that draw the viewer in with a bright, upbeat energy, and grip them with bizarre, intricate aspects. She frequently uses butterflies and birds as symbols of reincarnation, and uses alchemical symbols as mystical aspects. While she encourages viewers to freely interpret her work, Yoko also develops concrete subjects for her paintings based on Japanese mythology and popular culture.
Press
Yoko d’Holbachie ‘s paintings have been featured in Beautiful Bizarre Magazine in both print editorial [Issue 30 cover artist] and online.
