Biography / Kiki

Kiyono Saito also known as Kiki is a Japanese illustrator who was born in a beautiful little village in Japan, based in Berlin, Germany.

Her illustrations are strongly influenced by her childhood memories in a small Japanese village with lots of nature, where she was born and grew up. There she learned about intuition, feelings and lots of colours and encountered characters hiding in nature.

In the summer of 2016 she moved to an international city, Berlin, Germany, out of her desire to see more of the world. Meeting different people, cities and nature has further developed her sense of colour.

Currently working with companies on illustrations, since 2022 she has been creating murals as a tool for the natural environment and peaceful activities. Her murals breathe new life into buildings, connect people and communities through illustrations and create a circle of happiness.
