Miyazaki
Illustrator / Artist
Born in Shimane Prefecture and currently residing in Osaka.
While working as an illustrator, Miyazaki actively exhibits artwork in exhibitions.
Specializing in simple expressions using nostalgic styles and curves, they aim to create timeless illustrations that never grow tiresome.
Miyazaki designed the cover illustration for "Fashion Illustration File 2024," which features original works and professional projects from 214 illustrators.
She have also created numerous book covers and illustrations, garnering attention for refreshing publications with simple yet powerful line drawings and vibrant colors.
Miyazaki produced illustrations and stickers for Kagome's "Vegetable Day One"campaign.
Miyazaki, an illustrator who creates works centered around animal and plant motifs, challenged herself to draw vehicles for the first time through this ART MODELLISTA project.
She felt an affinity with MODELLISTA's aesthetic sensibility based on their experience that "encountering design enriches the heart." Their belief that illustrations, art, and design are elements that enrich people's lives resonated with MODELLISTA's manufacturing philosophy.
In this artwork, she focused on the retro appeal of the Land Cruiser 70. By selecting angles that emphasize the vehicle's "expression" and combining her style with subdued background colors, she conveys her unique artistic vision. In addition to the simple depictions with bold lines characteristic of her style, meticulous attention has been paid to composition and color.
Through the challenge of working with a different motif than usual, she discovered new creative possibilities. Looking ahead, she expressed her desire to expand her creative range through encounters with various cultures and perspectives, with exhibitions overseas also in view.
TOYOTA Land Cruiser 70
Since its birth in 1984, it has supported livelihoods and communities in harsh environments worldwide, and was reintroduced to the Japan market in 2023.
The authentic off-road styling created by MODELLISTA under the concept "STERLING GEAR GEEK" resonates with sensibilities and, together with the universal value backed by its history, stimulated Miyazaki's inspiration.
The vehicle's personality, retro yet possessing essential appeal, shaped the worldview of her artwork.
