Satoshi Saitoh was born in 1982 in Nagano, Japan, and graduated from the Department of Sculpture at Tokyo Zokei University. Saitoh's sculptures use camphor wood as the main body and apply the ash and pigments that are used in Japanese painting. Born in a gardening family, Saitoh's growing environment always revolves around trees. To Saitoh, woodcarving is an indispensable way to express a scene. He connects various elements around him, such as regional culture, biological activities, emotions, society, and thoughts. Saitoh's works include both peaceful dolls and abstract works. Through his works, he expresses the ambiguous and nostalgic feelings of human memory.
