Artist Information
NAOYA was born in 1958 in Japan. After graduating from Aoyama-Gakuin University, NAOYA truly began his career as a fine artist. He has since received many prestigious awards, and his artwork has been exhibited internationally. NAOYA hopes to be able to share his experience and knowledge with others, and so he also lectures at Aoyama-Gakuin University and Aoyama-Gakuin Woman's Junior College. The artist always aims to create a new world with no fixed ideas, which is reflected in his pluralistic artwork, especially "POLYKANTEN" . Using his artwork as his envoy, NAOYA invites us to the future and another world.
