YoshikoLee was born in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture in 1973, and grew up as a tailor’s daughter.

She studied Photography and Video Production at Tama Art University.

After her studies, she has been an actor as well as a filmmaker for independent films. Her work shows how beautiful life would be if you cherish every little moment and love them with all your heart.

Madonna has been her style icon for a long time. The 1991 documentary film, “Truth or Dare” shocked YoshikoLee because of Madonna’s toughness and frankness, but it has also been the greatest influence on her expression and work.

She presents her “photograms” (shadow-like photographic images made on paper without a camera) and paintings with poster colors and colored pencils. She admires filmmakers such as Ken Loach (Britain) and Takeshi Kitano (Japan).

Exhibitions:

2018 “Fuji Art Institute 40th Anniversary Exhibition” (Shizuoka)

2019 “Small Rooms of Creators” (Tokyo)

Her works can be found at the art rental company, “Casie.”
