Itabamoe

Based in Tokyo

After studying fashion design, Itaba began her career as an apparel designer. She later transitioned to the advertising industry as an illustrator before officially becoming an artist in 2021.

Itaba’s work draws from her experiences in the advertising world during the 2010s. She reconstructs and interprets illustrations as elements of contemporary art, focusing on the evolving beauty of modern women and celebrating their diversity in real-time.

Her expression resembles an enlarged version of a magazine cut-out, which allows her to tell stories through visual language. This technique captures the essence of her subject matter while making a statement about the contemporary woman.

Itaba highlights the identity of 21st-century women—those who are strong, assertive, and part of the fourth wave feminist movement. These women actively share and discuss ideas on social media and online platforms. Through her art, Itaba conveys the feelings and personal experiences of women as they adapt to changing times, offering commentary on contemporary art and society.
