Watanabe creates a joyful space in his painting. In the space, many kinds of shapes are floating or balancing as if they are playing around. Some shapes are like birds and others are like ropes. He has intentionally drawn a shape which does not look like a specific something. How you will recognized the shape depends on what you pull out from your experience.

He answered to our interview that "I provide a shape as a hint and the viewers can understand the shapes from their own experiences. That's an exciting thing. Some may see a face in my painting, when others don't. It depends on their experiences."
