All beings flow, merge, and transform—
my paintings are edits of presence and emptiness in constant dialogue.
Since 2015, beginning with his “Feel” series,
AkaikeRyoto has been active as a visual artist, primarily exhibiting internationally at art fairs and exhibitions across Asia—including Taiwan and Thailand—as well as Europe.
Since 2021, alongside his painting practice, he has expanded his creative work into filmmaking, serving as the scriptwriter and director for the video production team .
His short film BlatantLie was awarded the Grand Prix at the Nasu International Short Film Festival 2024, among other accolades. His debut feature film Yellow Margarine received the Best Feature Film Award at the Avignon International Film Festival in France, was selected for the feature category at the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival in Japan, and won the Best Psychedelic Feature Film Award at the PFMF 2024 in New York, USA.
His work as a film director has garnered recognition both domestically and internationally.
