Mirai Moriyama x Peugeot: a rich collaboration
For Mirai Moriyama, representing Peugeot in Japan is a rare opportunity. "Being the ambassador of such a Brand is humbling for me. Although Peugeot is French, it is present all over the world, and I have great admiration for companies that develop on a global scale. In Japan, Peugeot is seen as a very ‘cool’ brand, full of Allure. It is renowned for its designs that are not only futuristic, but also wild and interesting."
The collaboration is also highly enriching from a personal point of view, according to the artist. "I think that by immersing myself in different cultures and interacting with people from different countries, I can understand myself better and continue to grow."

Emotion according to Mirai Moriyama
Above all, the artist seeks a connection, a bond with his audience. "I'm not so much drawn to shows where the relationship boils down to watching and being watched. I see the show as an experience that goes hand in hand with interaction. That way, we can generate emotions we've never felt before."
He also strives to capture the essence of the present through his art, while gracefully transcending tradition. "I draw inspiration from the contemporary, doing my utmost to preserve the elegance rooted in respect for the refined techniques and aesthetics that have spanned the ages. Achieving this delicate balance is a challenge, but a crucial one."
Mirai Moriyama has many upcoming projects, as an actor and in various other artistic roles, both in Japan and internationally. He also recently launched an artist residency programme in Japan. Mirai Moriyama delights in the prospect of cultural exchange, concluding: "I look forward to meeting you all somewhere in the world."
