Shiori Eda Biography

Shiori Eda is a Japanese artist born in Tokyo in 1983. She graduated from the National University of Fine Arts in Tokyo in 2010, and has won numerous awards including: Kume Award (2005), Ataka Award (2006), Spring Salon Award (2008), Ohashi Award (2008), Taro Amano Award (2010).

Shiori Eda was then noticed by the famous Japanese painter Kyosuke TCHINAI. Highly promoted by the Japanese media, her artworks are now well-known, appreciated, and collected in Japan. The pictorial compositions surf between figurative and surrealism, Shiori Eda presents each of her paintings as a stage of life, usually interpreted by a woman facing time and nature. Particularly referring to the status and mistreatment of women in Japanese society.

Currently Shiori Eda lives and works in France, where she has developed more mature thinking and reveals an indomitable nature, sometimes gentle, sometimes violent, but always prodigious. Her universe plunges us into the depths of the sky and the water through the fine bristles of her brushes. From her reflections based on the place of a human being confronting the world, Shiori Eda sketches scenes of miniature realities that she reconstructs with the aid of materials and figurines in wax. These dioramas simplify the narrative framework of simulated places and offer it a vision on an intimate scale that concentrates emotions. She paints an illusory world that is more authentic than the real life.
