A picture is worth a thousand words... At least that's exactly how people feel when seeing illustrations by a mysterious Japanese artist Avogado6.

The illustrator and video editor don't share many personal details about his life. "I am an ordinary person who likes chemistry," he writes on his Twitter profile, but the meaningful drawings of the artist are far from ordinary.

Avogado6 manages to create sentimental, vivid images by drawing feelings and emotions that might seem hard to describe with words. And sometimes his sad drawings don't really need an explanation, as they convey the emotions so well, often hiding a harsh social issue behind them.

The artist has more than 650k followers on Twitter and has published two books. And his success is sure to grow bigger with time, as this Japanese art maestro delivers new deep meaning illustrations very often, deciphering problems with society and our inner fears better with each one.

Look at the shadow... it seems that his own chipped parts are casting that chipping shadow. Maby it meens that we are our greatest enemies. I know that I can be great... as long as I trust myself. On other hand, when I am insecure, I am dumb as hell 😉😎

I love how this has so many interpretations. For me, I see it as the moment two soulmates see each other for the first time, and everyone else just fades away around them.

Feeling like you saw someone who might understand you and hope fate will make you meet again

I've had this moment... I urged to meet the person again so I went back and back and back,... same time same day. It didn't happen. I had to let it go. :(

This is like the end part of the one of the greatest love stories of all time - Dr Zhivago.

When you let someone so good and pure leave your life... could be because of extraneous events, but could also be because you didn't have the courage to step up. So step up people. Take a leap, no, a plunge. And not one of faith, but one of adventure.

Two ships passing in the night. Old concept but still achingly true.

Love at first sight! And then they try to find each other and end up never seeing each other again. What if Romeo & Juliet was like that??? 🤔🤔

This illustration is more poetic than much of the artwork that is out there today.

This says to me "So many things that want to plug into you. To use your energy and lifeforce, and drain you." Perhaps referring also to the electronics and devices that seem to consume our lives, in this illustration, quite literally.

Be patient when helping someone who's struggling to adapt. (There's enough yarn)

I may be looking way too deep into these but heres what i thought: The flower could be repesenting love and the picking of the petals could be playing on that whole "he loves me, he loves me not" rhyme sooo it could be representing a broken heart and the more times the person's heart was broken the more desensitised the person became, leading on to become a doll which is made of plastic and emotionless...?

The night owl. Or insomnia, depending on how early you have to get up in the morning.

there is a plethora of emotions trying to burst out but you bottle them up inside a cage
