Kitten

Oil and acrylic on canvas

100cm x 120cm

Kitten is a vibrant, retro-inspired pop art portrait celebrating Japanese model Hiroko Matsumoto, muse to iconic fashion designer Pierre Cardin. Known as Miss Hiroko, she became the first Japanese model to represent a French fashion collection, symbolizing a bold cultural shift in the 1960s fashion world.

This painting blends kitsch charm with nostalgic storytelling. Inspired by vintage Bambi figurines, Disney birds, and mid-century packaging, the composition layers imagery in a playful, collage-style background that evokes the dreamy, collectible aesthetic of 1960s and 1970s nostalgia art.

A unique statement piece for collectors of modern figurative art, fashion-inspired painting, or nostalgic pop culture artwork.
