Kato's technique is influenced by his upbringing, particularly his close bond with his blind twin sister. His artistic vision is deeply rooted in the shadows of his childhood, where his twin sister’s perception of light shaped his view of the world. His heightened sensitivity to light, shape, and form influences the essence of his creative expression. His artwork embodies a relentless pursuit to extract meaning from darkness. In his latest body of work, titled "Holy Couture," he explores the delicate balance between the constraints and freedoms faced by religious leaders in Africa. Influenced by his personal experiences growing up in the Catholic Church, Kato offers nuanced insights into the intersections of faith, culture, and authority. His evocative use of color and form captures the intricate dynamics within religious communities, inviting viewers to engage with the complexities of belief and power.
