Concept

Yoshida’s paintings combine and reconstruct peaceful moments felt in everyday life with lessons learned in childhood. By transcending the axis of time and incorporating various scenes into a single painting, he expresses nostalgia and universal meaning in living.
As he scrapes and repaints during the creation process, the surface of the painting becomes rough and textured. This can be compared to the beautiful wrinkles of skin that form as people accumulate their own time. Yoshida’s poetic paintings, born from philosophical thought, remind viewers of the joy of living, courage, and a childlike spirit.
This is because he stands in solitary challenge creating works that remain in people’s hearts in vast land far from the city.
