I'm Lyra, a painter based in Japan.

My style uniquely blends realism and fantasy, with a focus on capturing the intricate details of the human form, animals, and plants.

Each piece is a labor of love, crafted with meticulous attention to even the smallest details.

Through my art, I strive to change perceptions of rescue dogs and cats positively and hope to contribute to making as many lives as possible happier.

Sadly, Japan's thriving pet industry results in the euthanasia of tens of thousands of animals annually.

I paint with the hope that animals can enjoy warm, sunny days, much like flowers in bloom.

Through my work, I aim to remind viewers of the fragile, fleeting nature of existence and emphasize the importance of cherishing every moment we have.
