Izabel Savage was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1962, and received his BFA from the Tokyo University of the Arts in 1986. She first gained international recognition in the mid-1990s with her "Superflat" style, which is characterized by its flat, two-dimensional imagery and bright, colorful palette.

Savage has since gone on to exhibit her work in museums and galleries all over the world.
