Sayazake is a visual artist who operates in the realm of Photography, Illustration, and Painting. His work speaks to a conversation of adventure, spirituality, anime, and eccentricity.
In this interview, Sayazake talks about his expressive origins in performance and theater and what attracted him to pursue visual art in his early twenties, plus his thoughts on artistic influences, the commercial art world, his unique approaches to portraiture in both illustration and photography, and much more.
Sayazake will release his latest body of work, Erasure, available exclusively on his website starting July 5, 2023, about which he writes, "This body of work focuses on topics of spirituality and facing your shadow. Working with the shadow aspects of yourself and integrating them to find deeper strength. This idea came to me while I was pretty sad about how a situation turned out after taking a pretty big risk. Grateful for the experience as it helped me become wiser and also draw some pretty great things." He will also have work up in the group show Free Your Mind, opening July 8 at JCAL in Jamaica, Queens.
