Yama
Summer 2026
Rich in colour, symbolism and storytelling, YAMA's debut with Castle Fine Art introduces an exciting new voice in contemporary Pop Surrealism—one that encourages us to pause, look closer and discover meaning beneath the surface.
Drawing inspiration from the familiarity of animated culture, YAMA's soft, expressive characters offer an accessible way into complex narratives. What first appears joyful and whimsical gradually reveals deeper reflections on conformity, self-worth, capitalism and the search for authenticity. Through his recurring characters, Moo and Homini, he explores themes of identity, consumerism, emotional wellbeing and the contradictions of human behaviour, inviting viewers to question the systems and social norms that quietly shape everyday life.

Yama
“I want to express the value of being yourself, even if it feels uncomfortable or strange. Don’t follow the crowd, instead ask questions, find your own answers and challenge social norms.”
The artist
Yama
Raised in post-Soviet Lithuania and entirely self-taught, YAMA began sketching imagined worlds as a child. Today, those early drawings have evolved into expressive, character-led paintings that explore themes of consumerism, conformity and identity. His bright colours, soft gradients and painterly textures contrast with the weight of the ideas beneath, inviting viewers into a world that’s gentle on the surface but rich with meaning.
