serie “Manga Mosaic : Kawaii Characters in Kanji Harmony”
In the enchanting world of Ioam Yumako’s artistic realm, a series of canvases unfolds, each a captivating chapter in a visual narrative titled “Manga Mosaic: Kawaii Characters in Kanji Harmony.” Yumako, a master of blending tradition and modernity, embarks on a journey where the charm of kawaii manga faces converges with the elegance of Japanese letters.
The series begins with a canvas that draws the viewer into a lively scene, where adorable manga characters with wide, sparkling eyes and playful smiles take center stage. Yumako’s meticulous brushstrokes bring these kawaii figures to life, capturing the essence of innocence and joy.
Woven seamlessly into the fabric of each painting are Japanese letters, delicately integrated into the composition. The Kanji characters dance around the faces, forming a harmonious union with the overall design. Each stroke of the brush tells a tale, infusing the artwork with linguistic nuances that add depth and cultural richness.
As the series progresses, Yumako explores the interplay between the visual and the written. The Kanji characters, carefully chosen and artfully placed, become an integral part of the narrative. They whisper secrets, convey emotions, and unveil hidden stories within the innocent expressions of the manga faces.
In one canvas, a character with a shy demeanor is surrounded by Kanji symbols that exude a sense of mystery and introspection. In another, a cheerful manga face is adorned with characters that radiate positivity and warmth. Yumako’s genius lies not only in his ability to capture the essence of kawaii but also in his skillful integration of Japanese letters as a visual language.
“Manga Mosaic: Kawaii Characters in Kanji Harmony” becomes a testament to Yumako’s artistic philosophy — a celebration of cultural fusion and a reflection of the interconnectedness of visual and linguistic expressions. The series invites viewers to explore the delicate balance between cuteness and cultural depth, offering a unique and immersive experience in each canvas.
In the final masterpiece of the series, Yumako leaves the audience with a lingering sense of wonder, a visual symphony where kawaii manga faces and Kanji characters coalesce in perfect harmony. The paintings stand as a testament to the artist’s ability to create a captivating dialogue between tradition and contemporary pop culture, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty that emerges when two worlds gracefully collide.

Presentation
Ioam Yumako, aka Milosh Herzig, is a Polish painter born in Szczecin Stettin, Poland in 1977. In 1981, he moved to Germany with his parents. He studied graphic design and began experimenting with digital photography. He lives and works in Berlin.
He mostly draws inspiration from Japanese art mainly manga and animation. One can find various elements from different schools of manga, but Ioam works mainly with the Neo-pop theme. The various social and cultural origins help him expand his creative spectrum. His work is about manufacturing fine oil painting with contemporary Japanese patterns. In his major works, he focuses on details such as eyes of the figures, and with the help of light and color, he is able to enrich the painting through an illusion of movement. He usually paints feminine and masculine faces, or neutral sexes, he is able to show the nature of the character, simply by capturing the facial expression.
In his artistic approach, the artist combines the hyper-realist aspect with pop technicolor culture. He highlights the eyes of his figures. Yumako uses elements from animation movies and paints them like a direct insinuation of rebellion against the Western culture. His characters emanate innocence, purity and wisdom. In his most abstract work, he explores the darkest emotions possible, like sadness, despair and emptiness. Yumako's charm leans on fine oil painting techniques, he mixes this with a modern pop art look, giving his work an ironic look of mass consumption and culture. The manga characters have been part of the traditional pop culture for a while, but their personality has managed to retain integrity and chastity. Yumako is able to remind us of the old tradition and at the same time conserve the plastic Neo-pop look in his portraits.
