Hiroshi Sato ~ BenjaminCohen

Hiroshi Sato

Hiroshi Sato was born September 1987 in Japan. From the age of three to fourteen he spent his childhood in Tanzania. After school, he found his way to Rome where classical sculpture inspired his pursuit of a career in fine art. He enrolled in the fine-arts program at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco.

Hiroshi Sato is focused on contemporary realist oil painting. He draws influence from past and present artists including Vermeer, Andrew Wyeth, Euan Uglow and Chuck Close. Sato’s work shows his interest in geometric design principles of the old masters and is currently exploring the simultaneous illusion of form and flatness in space. His goal is to portray, and better understand our various states of consciousness within ourselves.
