Okokume, also known as Laura Mas Hernandez, is best known for her iconic character Cosmic Girl.
The pink-haired spirit with turquoise skin is the universe’s messenger to emphasize the importance
to protect the environment. She travels in space and tends to the planets in need and restores them to their former glory.
Her Lowbrow inspired style of creating reflects the influence of Japanese manga, American cartoons and street culture.
Her gleeful and colorful works transport the audience into the universe of Cosmic Girl and her companions,
spreading positive message they believe in. Okokume’s cheerful and positive style is met with much popularity,
making her one of the fastest growing contemporary artists.
Okokume was born in 1985 in Barcelona. She graduated from the renown Llotja Advanced School of Art and Design in Barcelona.
Her works have been widely exhibited in galleries and art fairs around the world, including Hong Kong,Tokyo,Taipei,
Seoul, Los Angeles and Berlin, to name but a few. Her biggest solo exhibition to date was held in 2021
at the JPS Art Gallery in Hong Kong. Recent auctions have achieved numerous satisfying records in 2020.
