Shoko Hirose Graduated from the Department of Painting, Faculty of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2018. After graduating, she worked as a designer in the game industry, and is currently active in the two fields of art and illustration. Based on the concept of "an approach to painting that is possible in this modern age, where the boundaries between digital and physical things are becoming blurred," she creates and presents paintings using a method of printing out works drawn in a digital environment, then adding touches to them with drawing materials, as well as various other techniques. She also works on a wide range of works as an illustrator under the name "Hirose," and is attracting attention as one of the leading artists in the illustration scene, providing illustrations for popular works such as games and light novels both in Japan and abroad, as well as "Hatsune Miku."
