Hajime Sorayama is known worldwide for his imaginative and highly accomplished paintings of beautiful women.

Using brush, pencil and acrylic paint, with the airbrush only taking care of the finishing details, he creates memorable images in a hyperrealistic style.

Those familiar with his pin-up style works often call him the contemporary Vargas. He is respected by artists and illustrators for his perfect technique.

In retrospect, Sorayama's work is remarkably prescient.

From the 1970s to the 21st century, the futuristic aura of the robotic, mythical and fantastic characters in his works has always been ahead of its time.
