In his process, Sato marries the duality of his life with his formal training. His greatest influences; Diebenkorn, Park, Avery, coalesce with his knowledge of traditional Japanese methods, theories and compositional philosophies. Sato has no preference for either ideology of picture making, therefore they become a tool to further fictionalize the already dubious accuracy of what is being depicted.
