Chizu Wada
Chizu Wada
Born in Kyoto, Japan, where she currently lives and works. Active as a painter, manga artist, and illustrator. From an early age, she was drawn to drawing and continued creating independently as a self-taught artist. Working primarily with pen and acrylic paint, she explores a wide range of expression through drawing, painting, and manga.
Her work explores the space between reality and fantasy, inspired by the loneliness and dreamlike emotions she experienced in childhood. Animals and imaginary worlds — which once brought her comfort and escape from loneliness — repeatedly appear as important motifs throughout her work.
Since 2024, she has been creating a series featuring costumed characters traveling through fantastical worlds. She primarily works with pen and acrylic paint. Her pen drawings often portray darker, quieter atmospheres with subtle unease, while her acrylic paintings depict soft and gentle worlds filled with warmth.
