Collection: TAKUYA

TAKUYA MORIWAKI, artistically known as TAKUYA, is a contemporary Japanese painter based in Osaka, Japan. His expressive figurative paintings explore the themes of life, death, identity, and human emotions. Inspired by the philosophy of memento mori, he creates a distinctive visual language using vibrant colors, powerful compositions, and deliberately distorted human and animal figures.

He works primarily with acrylic paints, combining traditional painting with experimental surface techniques. By sanding down layers of paint and incorporating elements of the traditional Japanese gyotaku method, he gives his works a unique depth and texture.

His artistic career includes a solo digital exhibition at the Plogix Gallery in New York, art sales through galleries in London and Italy, and the publication of his work in an international art publication. He has also collaborated with Japanese fashion and design brands.

Through his art, TAKUYA aims to emotionally connect people from different cultures and to further develop his artistic practice internationally.
