Masayo Sakai (designer, illustrator), representative of atelier s design office

Illustrator notation: Masayo Sakai

​

I like designing, the beginnings of the art of printing and the paper that has progressed with the gentle times.

Illustration, which creates colours and shapes from images, and art, which expresses the words I want to convey from the colours and sensations of paint.

They are all important work for me.
