Hi! I'm Takeshi

Diagnosed with Dyslexia at the age of ten, Takeshi found in art a space for expression beyond the constraints of words. Alongside a love for cooking, creativity became an important outlet through which he could explore ideas and communicate his perspective. His passion for visual storytelling later led him to pursue a diploma in Visual Effects and Animation, where he continued to develop his artistic voice while navigating the challenges of deadlines and anxiety. Today, creating under the name Ognum, Takeshi draws on his lived experiences to shape a practice rooted in imagination, resilience and personal expression.
