Risa Wada

Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 1972, based in Tochigi, Japan  since 2022.

​

In her late 40s, 2016, she publishes her first Wild Desert Cactus Collection. An artwork she inspired from the moment of her cat – Toro staring at the cactus for a long time. She wondered how "Toro" inspired her to see the world around him. "Toro" inspired her to see the world through her creative lens. 

​

Her curiosity turned to Mother Nature, and she imagined that natural objects had souls and spirits, as well as forms unknown to humans.

​

Progressively, She mixed two common aspects of life: Mother Nature and Human Emotions. She curated a figure, ANIMA MEA appearance throughout her artwork as a point of view.
