Ama is an American pop-surrealist painter residing in Chico, California. She is the face of the illustration brand: Absolute Ama. Ama\u2019s most recognized for her stylized blend of cartoon realism dipped in shades of vibrant pastel gouache.<\/p>\n
Art of Ama draws heavy influence from Japanese Animation, 90\u2019s\/early 2000\u2019s trance, magic, other-worldy creatures, kimokawaii, and cyberpop culture. She enjoys experimenting with the juxtaposition of color and concept, masking heavy themes or feelings with soft hues, ultimately creating a universe in pastel. With ethereal women as her focal point, she breathes life to the female form with delicate beauty and charm, harmonizing them in a world of enchantment and the bizarre.<\/p>\n
At this moment, Ama exclusively works in design gouache. Other medium includes watercolor, resin, ink, and digital. Find out more about her on popular social media platforms such as Twitter and Twitch.<\/p>\n
