Frequently, business travels connect us with remarkable individuals. This month, we've had the pleasure of meeting Sakurai Miyuki, a young designer and emerging artist from Tokyo, Japan. Miss Miyuki is our featured guest of the month.

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

I am Sakurai Miyuki, a native of Tokyo, Japan. My journey began in childhood with a passion for drawing and a particular interest in Manga. Initially aspiring to be a fashion designer during my elementary school years, I later delved into oil painting, majoring in it at Art School. Post-graduation, I embarked on a journey into freelance work, showcasing and selling my works at various events. It's been quite an adventure.

What style of art do you specialize in?

My expertise lies in creating oil and watercolour paintings that convey a fantastical narrative. My process involves allowing the canvas to capture the essence of the moment, drawing inspiration from my favorite elements. My illustrations are rooted in childhood memories and experiences.

What really gets your creative juices flowing?

Animated cartoons, particularly those from Ghibli and Disney, have significantly influenced me. Despite being raised in an urban environment, I have a real love for nature, which often finds its way into my work. It's like blending a touch of the great outdoors into the cityscape of my canvas!

What tools do you always have on hand for your art? Any go-to brush, paint, or technique you love?

I'm all about using both oil paint and crayon. Crayons bring in that cool textured, hand-drawn vibe that I truly love. Playing around with unexpected shapes and colours – it keeps things interesting.

Got any cool fun facts about yourself?

I'm always jamming out to music while I'm in the creative zone. I draw inspiration from all sorts of genres. Every now and then, a specific song totally captures me, and its vibe becomes the fuel for my work.

Looking ahead five years, where do you see yourself?

I'm dreaming of setting up a cozy cafe and art studio in an old house surrounded by trees. Just imagine the sound of birds and a view of a wooded area, creating the perfect vibe. Oh, and I can't forget my border collie and cat – they'll be right there with me, adding to the creative energy 💕

If you could be any animal, what's your pick and why?

I'd go with an eagle or falcon – their majestic flight is just too cool. Imagine soaring gracefully through the sky, checking out distant landscapes with those sharp eyes. That's the dream!


And there you have it – a glimpse into the imaginative world of Sakurai. We can't wait to visit her cozy cafe and studio surrounded by nature next time. Thank you, Sakurai, for sharing your art and dreams with the community. Here's to hoping your dreams come true!
