The characters created by Michela Muserra are anatomically hypertrophic, inspired to the manga and anime style, and partially to the typical disproportion of the Kokeshi dolls. Large heads and dreaming eyes are physical attributes that refer to the childhood, as well as to the cartoons world. The work of Michela Muserra can be defined as “kawaii”, a Japanese term corresponds to the English “cute” and is used to describe anything that is sweet and adorable, but also extremely vulnerable. The artist’s figures possess a disarming power of charm that is expressed by the often used happy expression, a mask behind which, a more selfish and untamed instinct predominate, as confirmed by the repetitive use of the word “Self” in most of her works.
