Mayu’s artistic practice centers on recurring themes such as: Harmony in Duality: In her Tender Loving Paradise series, she explores the coexistence of opposing forces – life and death, joy and sorrow – finding beauty in balance. Whimsy and Fantasy: Her works often feature fantastical creatures and otherworldly beings, infusing her art with playfulness, wonder, and the pursuit of joy in the everyday. Self-Discovery and Introspection: Each piece encourages personal reflection, guiding viewers toward their own emotional landscapes.

Through a blend of storytelling, mythology, and fantasy, Solano transforms her inner visions into visual narratives that invite both contemplation and delight.
