Born and raised in Toyota, Japan, where everything revolves around the world-famous Toyota’s headquarters, Kazu Tabu studied to be a mechanical engineer until he decided to move to the U.S. at the age of 19. After graduating from CSU Northridge with Art degree, he worked as a storyboard artist which helped him develop basic illustrative skill for storytelling and learn painting techniques with different styles. In 2013, he moved back to Japan, longing to rediscover his root in his homeland. By illustrating the bottomless abyss of our dreams and realities, he explores the relationship we and our man-made world have with nature and the universe – physically and spiritually.
