Intro – about me

Hi!

I am Karolina Sato, an artist, illustrator, and designer based in Tokyo. My work is an eclectic blend of nature-inspired motifs that expresses surprise and delight at the beauty of the world. I create hand-painted, floral, conversational designs that elevate women's fashion and home décor.

I specialize in Japanese-style painting techniques and work with watercolor, gouache, acrylics, and ink, painting phantasmagoric animals or poetic florals. My style combines Japanese aesthetics with contemporary inspirations, resulting in timeless yet on-trend pieces. I offer original artwork for exclusive sale or licensing and am open to intriguing custom projects where I can contribute my unique style and expertise to your vision. Get in touch!
