Frankie Cihi is an artist with roots to Japan and America. Inspired by her Japanese heritage and upbringing, she creates large-scale murals and live painting performances that bridge the gap between the cultural complexities of our inner and outer worlds.
Her artistic process is one of exploration—she paints and draws freely, allowing her subconscious to guide her hand through imagined dreamscapes of pastel paracosms. The result is a series of intricate patterns that evoke a sense of magic—a feeling that we can connect with something deeper within ourselves through the act of creation.
She is also known for her colorful darumas (traditional paper mache dolls from Takasaki city, Gunma, Japan), as well as her design work . She regularly works on collaborative projects with brands including Google, Microsoft, Starbucks, Instagram and Adobe, and continues to work across various industries across the globe.
