The family tradition of creativity runs deep for the artist and illustrator Kentaro Yoshida. His mother, too an artist has had an influencer on his work--even when she wasn't entirely on board of his career choices. "First she wasn't an advocate of my being a full-time artist. It was likely that she knew it was difficult based on her own experience. It was a challenge however, I decided to attempt it and fortunately did not fail," Kentaro says. "She is certainly the greatest motivational figure to me."

Kentaro is a native of a fishing village located in Toyama, Japan, but moved to Australia at the age of 18 and currently lives in Sydney. The move to Australia has lead to a successful full-time freelance career as an artist who sells prints, paintings and custom surfboards, as well as murals as well as collaboration with the top music and brands.
