MOMO

MOMO was born in Kanagawa, Japan, in 1996. Taking the idea that “words cannot fully capture things” as her starting point, she creates paintings and installations that use words themselves as motifs. Her work explores fundamental themes such as love, solitude, desire, and loss, as well as the emotional depths hidden in everyday life. In 2026, she unveiled a large-scale work at the west exit of Shibuya Station. In recent years, she has been developing her “Room Series,” incorporating beds and lighting. She received the Ace Hotel Award at GEISAI #22 & Classic in 2023.
