Sanae Sugimoto
Born in Tottori, Japan, and based in Fukuoka since 2018, Sanae is an artist and illustrator whose work has evolved from many years of oil painting into delicate line drawings created with black ink and vermilion. Inspired by classic literature, young girls, flowers, plants, and animals, she creates quiet, imaginative works that leave space for the viewer’s own stories.
Alongside her art practice, she works internationally as an illustrator, collaborating with publishers and clients in Japan and abroad. She has published several art books, including Close Your Ears.
About drawings
"Horses and plants have always been some of my favorite motifs to draw. Both are elegant, beautiful, and powerful, yet delicate at the same time. They also have a sense of rhythm.
It was a great joy to bring these two favorite motifs together in my drawings. I hope you enjoy them too!"
