Shiori Matsumoto

I was born in 1973 at Kagawa-prefecture in Japan. My main influence is surrealism, symbolism, modern illustration, and things by Japanese subculture.

Many kind of different girls would appear in my paintings. They are playing with imagination and trying to change the world with their own ritual. Their existence are neutral, beautiful and sensitive but also cruel and lonely at sometimes. I guess that might be ghost of myself in past.

My painting world are developed by European nostalgie and the yearning would never reach into my minds.
