Art nouveau + manga + graphic design + ukiyoe wood block prints + baroque = AYA KATO designs. The 25-year-old artist's designs have been featured in countless glossy magazines around the world, a Windows XP Trekkers commercial, a Tori Amos video, and more. The girl's got skills.
Aya Kato in her own words:
"Tendency to artwork:
The world of harmony of new sense.
Female image in new age.
The world of mental beauty.
Wish to artwork:
I want to wake up a lot of souls that the person is sleeping in the innermost recesses of the heart as much as possible by using my maximum imagination.
The world that I want to aim is the following. It is the world where a lot of people including me recalled own history. The world where root of soul and group of soul were recalled. The world where own true hope was recalled. It is the world that combines with the earth through the mind (oneself).
I believe that the wonderful world is born from LOVE: Mind that loves neighbors. All members who live in the earth are neighbors.
I am expecting new Japan in a new age.Therefore, I want to tie to the Japanese in the future a Japanese spirit that Samurai's wish (New spirit that added spirit of love that embraces everything to Bushido).
I am purely making the moment of the pleasure of alive. (I am born through me) This is foundation of all works". (Aya Kato)
