About me

Motoko Sato

 

Motoko Sato was born the daughter of a botanical artist, Sato Hiroki. He taught her to respect nature. Since she was 12 years old, she had learned paintings under the sculptor for 10 years. One day, she came across Alberto Giacometti’s artworks which had awakened her to the fine arts. After her graduation from Musashino Art University, she started her career as an art teacher and taught art at a public school in Tokyo for 38 years. For 14 of those years, she cared for her parents until the end of their lives. After a long life dedicated to art education and caring for her parents, she chose photography as her medium of expression, convinced that the value of life lies in looking deeply at the other person at this moment, in this place.

 佐 藤 素 子

 

佐藤素子は幼い頃から父親である植物画家・佐藤廣喜から自然を尊敬する心を学ぶ。12歳から彼女は彫刻家のもとで10年間絵画を学び、そこでアルベルト・ジャコメッティの作品に出会い、芸術に目覚める。武蔵野美術大学を卒業し、東京の公立学校で美術教師として38年間働きく。美術教育の場で子ども達の命を見つめるとともに彼女自身も人生の価値を見出す。その中の14年間、彼女は両親の最期まで介護した。美術教育と両親の介護に長い人生を捧げてきた彼女は、生きる価値はこの瞬間この場に相手を深く観ることにあると確信し、写真を表現として選ぶ。
