Shintarō Miyake designs costumes for his artificial characters that are based on the theme, location or national culture of the respective exhibition. In addition, he disguises himself while creating his drawings and thus combines the growth of his picture stories and the result as a work in progress in a performance, in the course of which his full body costume increasingly shows traces of color. Taking on a non-human role also allows Miyake to act like a child outside of social constraints. Childhood and world perception from the child's perspective play an important role in his work.

For the creation of his art, Shintarō Miyake draws and paints colorful, long-limbed comic characters with cross-oval heads in his lengthy performances . They dance and float gracefully in bright colors, sometimes overlapping each other over large-format paper. Others exist as plywood cut-outs or sculptures and are attached in scenarios to the wall or to thematically appropriate objects.
