ABOUT ME

Ikuko IKEDA is published by NLA CreationsMK67KIWI E.L.G. and Whisperies. And sometimes, I self-publish books on BoD.

MY INSPIRATION

My works are inspired by two cultures in which I have been bathing since my youngest age: the Japanese culture of which I am a native and the European culture in which I grew up. Deeply rooted in the manga culture, I wish to promote this style while remaining faithful to the classic design.

For each work that I create, I carefully choose the emotions and precious moments that I want to put forward, but for me, art does not have to come from a deep thought. A drawing, an illustration or a moment of spontaneous beauty can be artistic.
