In 2022, IRIS started creating the Neverland series. This is an imaginary world that originated from the mystical elements of some Asian cultures, but IRIS created a breakthrough. Fantastic character settings, bright colors, and bold composition all form a unique style. These paintings and derivatives will add a distinctive style to your living room.
Most of the works in this series have won professional art awards, and some of them are collected by famous art galleries.
