About me
Hello, I’m Riko. I’m an artist and visual designer based in Tokyo.
This is where I explore emotion, texture, instinct, and contradiction. My work moves between painting, drawing, embroidery, and illustration. I follow what’s honest, not what’s cohesive.
​
Some believe that artists need a consistent, polished style to be taken seriously. I believe in freedom and doing whatever you want.
Who says you have to be “established” to show your work?
​
This little virtual corner is an invitation:
Be brave.
Make messy things.
Share your art—even when it terrifies you.
​
Imposter syndrome? That’s just noise.
​
You don’t need permission. Your art matters. You belong here.
Maybe it’s not so scary when you’re not alone, right?
