Shota Nakamura’s Art Explores Environmental Issues

Japan-born artist Shota Nakamura learned when he was very young that art is much more than just drawing and crafting—art can serve as a great medium for sharing views and opinions. Today, his colorful art reflects many different topics including environmentalism, neuroscience, feminism, philosophy, music, etc.

As he told It’s Nice That, “I don’t know where I’m going to reaching, I’m just trying to reflect on my emotions or mood with colour and try to draw of discover things that I really want to come across – reflecting and questioning.” Check out his work below and follow him on Instagram if you want to see more.
