I see art as a decoration of space,
and music as a decoration of time.
Together, they create a kind of flow.
Everything begins as a dot, until we connect it into a line.

​

I’m Mona Sato. Born in Tokyo and shaped by years spent between Taipei, Vancouver and Milan, I became sensitive to the different rhythms of a place — its colors, its people,

the way bodies move through space, and the subtle shifts in how we relate to one another.

​

My practice is deeply rooted in impermanence.

I’m drawn to things that refuse to stay still: a thought passing, smoke dissolving, a color changing against another. Rather than fixing a form within a single contour, I build my drawings through layers of soft, flowing lines, allowing an image to feel as though it is still becoming.

​

Across traditional media, digital drawing, photography and animation, I use art as a way of paying attention to what is already changing — to stay with a moment fully, before it becomes something else.
