General info :
Not to be confused with the Japanese photographer also named Hideki Yoshida.

Hideki Yoshida (born on November 22, 1949 in Kyoto, Japan - died on September 2, 2019 in France (aged 69)) was a Japanese painter of sports cars.
After graduating from the School of Fine Arts in Kyoto he moved to Paris in 1971, continuing his studies in a design college.
His first job took him to Milan in 1974 hoping to paint some exclusive cars. He returned to Paris intending to decorate a few boutiques, but his passion for painting proved too strong, and after some time, he exhibited his first artworks. One of them was of an AC Cobra, and it can still be admired in one Ventilo clothes store.
Alain Nibart, a great Cobra specialist, then asked him if he would like to exhibit at Rétromobile in 1977. He displayed a Ferrari GTO and Hideki Yoshida confirmed his reputation within the Ferrari clan.
Already in 1981 he had his first Ferrari exhibition at Mas du Clos, the Mecca for the rarest Ferrari racing cars for many years of the owner Pierre Bardinon.
His works include Ferraris, of course, many at the request of their owners, but he has an emotional soft spot for Abarth, Alfa, and Lancia.
