Chie Yoshii received her bachelor's degree from Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan in 1997 and subsequently moved to the United States in 2000. After completing her Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Massachusetts College of Art, she continued to pursue her artistic dreams.

During the six years of studying with Gottlieb, Chie Yoshii continued to explore and develop her own painting style.

This intensive study and exploration enabled her to reach a proficient level in technology and laid a solid foundation for her later creations.


Chie Yoshii's painting style is deeply influenced by human mythology and psychology. Her oil paintings combine the delicate technique of traditional Flemish painting with the symbolism of modern surrealism.

By weaving surreal images full of symbolism and visual narratives, Chie Yoshii embodies contradictory elements such as novelty and nostalgia, innocence and sensuality, strength and fragility in her paintings, reflecting the complexity of the human psyche.
