Runa Ikeda studied illustration at the Tokyo Design Academy, where she graduated in 2010. During her studies she also started to express herself through paintings. She has exhibited her artworks around the world in galleries such as Monopol (Berlin), Dorado Gallery (Tokyo), Online Exhibition”Night Garden” at Young Space(Instagram) and Adidas Original Shop (Toronto), among others.

Runa is inspired by the deep psyche and the in-between, which we all have inside ourselves. She also draws inspiration from dreams and the antithetical, which is shown through her paintings.
