I am Karolina Sato, Karolinko; I specialize in hand-painted, nature-inspired motifs and textural prints for contemporary womenswear and swimwear. I like to create phantasmagoric animals, loose-painted folk-inspired florals, and abstract compositions. I love to research and tell stories with my designs. I study the tradition and runway looks to give my work contemporary edit. My work is often inspired by Asian arts; it is illustrative, joyful, and empowering.
