Akiko Ando

Akiko Ando was born in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1987. After graduating with a degree in design from the Faculty of Art at Tokyo Polytechnic University, she set about a wide range of production activities. More specifically, aside from creating her own artistic works, she made illustrations and cover designs for books, and collaborated with fashion brands. The carefully rendered pictures applying various techniques including watercolor, oil painting, and collages seem to radiate a brilliant light and make the viewers feel the joy of living. In recent years, she has been attracting even more attention; she has done window displays for NEWoman Shinjuku and was selected for the Idemitsu Art Award exhibition in 2022.
