Rasato is an emerging illustrator and designer based in Shanghai, working primarily in digital painting. His work is defined by rich textures, nuanced colour, and a strong sense of narrative—an evolving visual platform that connects genuinely with his audience.
He draws inspiration from the quiet emotional moments often overlooked in daily life, translating them into a distinctive visual language. For Rasato, illustration is an extension of lived experience, sustained by a deep engagement with the world around him.
His work speaks to an international audience, with clients including the LA Times, Marie Claire, The Ascolaner, Glug Magazine, and Medicinal Media. He helps publishers and magazines communicate complex ideas with clarity and visual impact.
