SKULLPANDA: Xiong Miao
Learn more →Xiong Miao started out in concept art for games — precise, technical, made to order. In 2018 she created something of her own: a character meant to be her alter ego. Slower, louder and without limits. Skullpanda has theatrical costumes, bold make-up and an expression that's hard to read with any certainty. The form is sweet, the mood — not necessarily. It's a contradiction that isn't looking for a resolution. It simply lives inside it. In 2020 the first series with Pop Mart — Ancient Castle — sold 60,000 pieces in a single second. Today Skullpanda figures make their way into museums, inspire cosplay trends and stand on collectors' shelves around the world. Meet the artist who proved that dark and cute can live under one roof.
