Japanese Artist Brilliantly Captures Emotions You Can’t Explain

A mysterious artist from Japan has gained quite a following online for his emotion-fueled, thought-provoking art.

Known only by their online handle Avogado6, the artist vividly captures segments of society’s woes in simple yet somehow difficult to describe illustrations.

Avogado6 caught the attention of Japanese netizens last year with an image of a girl simply reaching for a pudding surrounded by alcohol cans:

This image of a girl taking selfie also went viral last year after striking a chord with many online fans. 

Avogado6 has since been known to craft images that say a lot without needing to say anything at all.
