Haruka Yamakawa

About Artist

Haruka’s practice began from an intimate engagement with the ordinary. During the lockdown period, weekly visits to the supermarket became a highlight of life—eventually transforming into a recurring motif. The imagery captures everyday objects with warmth and distance, revealing a quiet surrealism beneath familiar forms. With a background in graphic design and years of illustration work, the approach is visually structured yet emotionally light. Influences from Raymond Savignac and Mark Ryden are evident in the pop-surreal and graphical tendencies. Supermarkets, travel, books, and baking offer a steady stream of inspiration—bridging routine and imagination through quiet observation.
