MARAZUL
Nail artist
A leading artist in Japan's nail art world who became independent after being scouted by a gel manufacturer.
While focusing on nail treatments, she also serves as an art director and demonstrator at industry events including BWJ, ANF, and EXPO.
In June 2022, colors designed by MARAZUL were released by PRESTO, a major domestic manufacturer.
Having experienced roles as an art director for gel manufacturers both in Japan and overseas, she currently works internationally as a freelancer.
With a decade-long career in nail art, she pursues the expression of original artistic visions on small canvases.
She has built a solid position in the industry, gaining support from many associates and clients.
MARAZUL, a nail artist who continues to expand new possibilities by creating unique worlds on nails with an artistic design sensibility reminiscent of fine art.
She vividly retains childhood memories of her grandfather who loved Toyota vehicles. Through experiences touching Mark II and Crown models in daily life and showrooms, she says she sensed the special significance of "beloved cars" even as a young child.
In this work, she challenged herself to express the world of customization she learned upon encountering MODELLISTA on the small canvas of nails.
She drew inspiration from newly discovered sculptural beauty—the graceful curves of parts and delicate joints that showcase craftsmanship.
While depicting her childhood admiration for cars and the excitement of family outings in a gentle, pop atmosphere, she was committed to faithfully reproducing "design that appeals to feelings and emotions." such as body kit and wheels using 3D expression.
Having deepened her understanding of unknown fields through this project, she sets forth a vision of reflecting new knowledge and expanded perspectives in her future works.
TOYOTA Crown
MODELLISTA has customized the Crown—an orthodox sedan evolved into new formal elegance—into a refined yet dignified presence with cutting-edge appeal.
The history of the "Crown" as a flagship orthodox sedan representing Japan, MODELLISTA's sensibility-resonating design, and MARAZUL's personal memories converge to create an intricate aesthetic vision expressed on the small canvas of nail art.
