Danilo Kato was born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, capital of the state of cheese and mineral wealthes. It also was the state of rich manifestation of baroque style presented in beautiful and amazing churches architectures during the eighteenth century. When he was 3, with no time to learn speaking portuguese, he moved to Japan. He spent few years of his childhood there, before moving back to Brazil, but it was enough to raise a strong influence from that country and culture, which even back to his home country, never stopped to explore. Now he lives in São Paulo.
Like the mix of his ethnicity, the concept of his arts manifests a mix of so many distinct features such as fragility and strength, complexity and transparence, brazilian and japanese. All of that finished with deeply epic themes, as final touch.
With his passion for everything rich in details, adding his natural curiosity about people, nature and their behaviours, his pictures translate his peculiar own world: there's imaginary little monsters, magic flowers, explosive plants, death, life, pain, and mostly love, always giving much attention with the depth and the intensity he wants to show to those who watches.
