Riya Watanabe is a contemporary mixed-media artist from Japan. She uses various analog media for her artwork and try to combine them with her favorite media, monotype printmaking. Her pattern-maker mother, twelve cats, and the experience of contemporary dance always inspire her as an unique artist.
