About the artwork
This piece explodes with the vibrant energy of childhood imagination, all contained within the iconic silhouette of Doraemon. Imagine stepping into a bustling, sky-bound playground where Doraemon and his friends soar amidst fluffy clouds, their adventures framed by the very form of the beloved robotic cat. Murakami's signature smiling flowers, a burst of kaleidoscopic joy, anchor the scene at the base, creating a visual bridge between the whimsical world of Doraemon and the artist's 'Superflat' aesthetic.
