A modern Mucha, depicting the realm of aestheticism
Onineko is an illustrator who captivates viewers with his worldview based on the motif of beautiful girls.
His works weave a delicate and aesthetic world that deeply moves the viewer.
Onineko sensei's work is like a modern day rebirth of Art Nouveau from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The beautiful girls he draws have a beauty reminiscent of the women painted by Alphonse Mucha, a master of Art Nouveau, but they also exude their own unique delicacy and charm.
Onineko's style is a fusion of naturalism and decorativeism, featuring floral patterns and decorative animal motifs, while his flowing curves and "whiplash" lines give the entire painting a sense of movement and life, providing a visual feast.
But more than just beauty, Onineko's work conveys deep emotion: each character has their own story to tell, and their eyes give us a glimpse into their inner worlds.
The works of Onineko-sensei are worthy of being called the modern Mucha due to their delicacy and aesthetic worldview. The emotion and beauty infused in his works will evoke deep empathy and emotion in the viewer, leaving a lasting impression on the mind.

Onineko Sensei's Production Story
Q. How do you create your own work?
I usually sketch out a vague image that comes to my mind, then work on the composition. I create while following trends and cherishing my own individuality.
Q. What is your source of inspiration?
Sometimes I think of illustrations when I see beautiful scenery on my travels, or when I see something that moves me, such as a photo of a building or landscape. I also get inspiration from cute accessories, or I draw scenes that come to mind when I listen to a song.
Q: What do you want to convey through your illustrations?
I aim to draw illustrations that will leave a lasting impression at first glance. I want to be able to draw things that evoke a variety of emotions in people who see them.
Q. What is the theme of this work and what are the thoughts you put into it?
I drew this with the theme of the beginning of summer, my favorite season. I also like the time of dusk in the summer, so I imagined it as the sun was starting to set. I used mainly white for the outfit and flowers, so that Emori Mirai's blue hair would stand out, and also because this is my first time participating. I was very nervous when I created this, but it was fun drawing it...!
