About

Miki Freesia Takekawa is a Japanese illustrator based in London, working across printmaking, hand-drawing, and mixed media.
Her works explore the relationship between nature, memory, and imperfection, often using decayed flowers and sensory experiences as metaphors for the human life cycle.
After working in the beauty and design industries in Japan, she is currently completing an MA in Illustration at the University of the Arts London.

She is particularly interested in themes such as “decay as beauty”, celebration of death, and co-existence with nature, and often integrates scent, poetry, and analog textures into her immersive illustrations.
