The Artistic Journey of Conoca: A New Sensation in the Art World

At just 14 years old, Conoca—a young prodigy hailing from Tokyo—has garnered international acclaim for her innovative art style known as 'Tsubutsubu Art.' With the forthcoming release of her first coloring book, 'Tsubutsubu Art Coloring,' scheduled for September 25, 2025, Conoca is taking her artistic talents into an interactive realm aimed at all ages.

Born in 2011, Conoca has been breaking boundaries in the art community since she was just nine, when she established her unique technique focused on the intricate beauty of dotted patterns. Her works, often inspired by endangered species, have captured the hearts of audiences both in Japan and abroad. During her first solo exhibition at just ten years old, nearly all of her pieces were sold out almost immediately, demonstrating her undeniable talent and appeal.

Conoca's artistic accomplishments have not only marked her as a leading figure among young artists but have also included a prestigious special award at the Showa Art Exhibition, where she became the youngest recipient ever, achieving remarkable success at such a young age. Beyond her artistic prowess, she has also engaged in charity work, donating art to the Turkish Embassy and participating in various exhibitions, including one in Paris.

The 'Tsubutsubu Art Coloring' book is structured to make coloring fun and engaging for everyone, whether you are a child or an adult. It offers a unique experience based on mandala art, encouraging focus and relaxation as users immerse themselves in the soothing act of coloring.

Notably, the book features easy-to-remove pages and a diverse selection of 21 different animal designs—ranging from endangered species like the red panda and lemur to familiar creatures like rabbits, elephants, and giraffes. This allows users to not only color but also to learn more about these animals in a fun and interactive way.

To ensure everyone can enjoy this experience, Conoca will also share skillful coloring tips in an instructional video, available on the same release date. Users can conveniently access the video via a QR code included in the book, making it beginner-friendly.
