Watabiki Akihiro

While in graduate school, Watabiki won the Grand Prize at the Seibu Museum of Art Printmaking Grand Prize Exhibition, and began his career as an artist focusing on copperplate prints. In 1990, Watabiki began to produce works using clearagraph, an original painting technique in which he paints from the reverse side of a transparent acrylic plate.

From 2002, he stayed in Spain for about a year as an overseas art trainee of the Agency for Cultural Affairs. He has held numerous solo and group exhibitions at galleries throughout Japan. In 2013, he was invited to participate in the Niijima International Glass Art Festival, where he produced glass works, and he continues to develop his expression through various media that transcend genres.
