Akiko Matsuo (Japan)

Akiko Matsuo (b. 1975) trained at Osaka University at Arts Graduate School. Since 2003 she has worked as a freelance from her home in Kamakura, in Kanagawa Prefecture. In 2008 she won the Grand Prix in the Still Images category of the Asia Digital Art Awards.

"What makes my illustrations distinctive is the way I use small elements as the basis for composing a much bigger image, where you can see subtle variations if you pay attention to the details. This keeps an illustration fresh over time, and means that youalways find something new in it." -- Akiko Matsuo
