Takeshi Motomiya (Japanese: 本宮 健史 Motomiya Takeshi (Japanese pronunciation: [motomʲija takeɕi] ), born 5 December 1959, Tokyo, Japan) is a multidisciplinary Japanese artist living in Barcelona since 1986. Throughout his career, he has worked within various visual arts disciplines that include painting, engraving, and sculpture. Characterized by his work of textures and natural pigment colors, his work is mainly based on abstract art and shows some attributes of figurativism and abstract expressionism, infused with ancient Japanese gods, biblical content, and Greek and Egyptian mythology.

His grandmother, Migishi Setsuko (Japanese: 三岸 節子 , 1905–1999), known as one of the pioneering Japanese women in oil painting, and his grandfather, Migishi Kōtarō (Japanese: 三岸 好太郎 , 1903–1934), known as one of the first painters who began paintings by surrealism in Japan, were the main influential characters in Motomiya's interest towards the art world.
