Masaya Yoshioka

Born in 1981 in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan. Raised in a family of temple carpenters, Yoshioka mastered traditional craft techniques and became independent, while also studying Western painting on his own from an early age. His work depicts rural landscapes where contemporaneity and folk sensibilities intersect, rendered through a range of painterly styles.
