Yoshino mainly paints girls, plants, small animals and dolls with oil paints in a unique composition in a monochromatic background. The motifs conveys a sense of melancholy, loneliness, and emotional distance, but also oozes a sense of love and steadfastness. The shadows in the background add depth to the motifs' emotions and seem to bring out its warmth as well as its complex psychological state. Ryoko Yoshino's works, with their unique point of view, draw close to the viewer's inner heart and bring about a deep resonance.
