REALISM
Kato’s figurative oil paintings often embody a sense of longing for the unknown, portraying the dichotomy between what we see and what exists in our own minds. Her earlier work was an expression of intimacy and connectedness. Her recent paintings voice a narrative of strength and blossoming womanhood.She uses a uniquely low horizon line to create a ‘larger than life’ sentimentality. She also enjoys the occasional landscape scene to challenger her skills.
