吉田卓矢は東京生まれ。17歳でスキーに打ち込むため単身渡米し、アメリカ・メイン州で過ごすなかで自然の美しさに強く惹かれるようになる。その後、Plymouth State Universityで絵画を学び、2013年にNew York Studio SchoolでMFAを取得。帰国後は北海道を拠点に制作活動を続け、2026年より東京へ拠点を移した。

夕暮れの空や虹、草花、動物、人々の姿など、日常のなかにある幸福やささやかな美しさを主なモチーフとし、記憶や感覚を通して再構成された風景を描く。鮮やかな色彩と油彩の豊かな物質感によって、現実の風景を起点としながらも、どこか理想郷を思わせる親密な世界を絵画として立ち上げている。

Takuya Yoshida was born in Tokyo. At the age of seventeen, he moved to the United States on his own to pursue skiing, and while living in Maine, he became increasingly drawn to the beauty of the natural world. He later studied painting at Plymouth State University and received his MFA from the New York Studio School in 2013. After returning to Japan, he based his practice in Hokkaido before relocating to Tokyo in 2026.

Yoshida’s paintings often take as their subjects the quiet beauty and moments of happiness found in everyday life—sunset skies, rainbows, flowers and plants, animals, and human figures. Reimagined through memory and personal perception, these familiar scenes are transformed through vivid color and the rich texture of oil paint. While rooted in the visible world, his paintings evoke an intimate, almost idyllic realm that exists between lived experience and imagination.
