Shiori Eda, born in Tokyo in 1983, is a Japanese artist whose creative journey began at the prestigious National University of Fine Arts in Tokyo, where she honed her craft and garnered recognition through multiple accolades. Her talent caught the eye of the esteemed Japanese painter Kyosuke TCHINAI, propelling her into the limelight of the art world.
Celebrated by the Japanese media, Eda's artworks have transcended borders, finding acclaim and a growing collection of admirers in Japan. Her canvases straddle the realms of figurative and surrealism, each painting a vivid portrayal of life's stages often centered around a woman grappling with the passage of time and the forces of nature. Her art serves as a poignant commentary on the status and often overlooked mistreatment of women in Japanese society.
Presently residing and creating in France, Eda's artistic evolution reflects a mature introspection, unveiling an unyielding spirit that oscillates between gentleness and fervor, always evocative. Her creations transport us into celestial skies and aquatic depths, delicately crafted with the finest brushstrokes. Eda's contemplations on humanity's relationship with the world manifest in her dioramas—miniature realities composed of materials and wax figurines. These intricate scenes distill complex emotions into an intimate scale, inviting viewers into a world that feels more genuine than reality itself, crafting an illusory yet profoundly authentic realm.
