Chinatsu Ban’s art focuses on kawaii elephants or human figures floating against Japanese washi paper backgrounds or in front of candy-colored stripes. She also makes sculptures for exhibitions.

Ban on her subject choice:

“These things are like talismans. It’s scary to imagine that someday I won’t exist in this world anymore. I am troubled by the urge to run away from this fear. Elephants make me feel safe. They have saved me many times.”
