Through his art, Soma invites viewers to embrace individuality and celebrate imperfection.
Who or what inspires Soma to create?Soma is surrounded by screens and worries imagination might fade in himself and others. He is driven by a deep desire to protect it. Discovering The NeverEnding Story taught him the importance of safeguarding fantastical worlds and inspired him to make protecting human imagination his mission. His works overflow with curiosity, fearless creativity, and playful joy, giving viewers a glimpse into a universe only he can envision.
What is Soma's favorite art form?Painting is Soma’s favorite medium. He always colors first, then draws outlines, sometimes starting anywhere but the head. Each piece is unpredictable, energetic, and full of life. Through fearless experimentation and devotion to originality, every painting and sculpture becomes a unique window into the mind of an extraordinary young artist whose art speaks louder than words.
