Hideki Iinuma was born in Matsumoto in 1975. During his academic years, he moved to Tokyo and Nagoya.

His artistic creative abilities gained international recognition in Europe even before Japan.
This contemporary artist sculpts female figures based on models adorned in elaborate attire and tailored designs. The women are acutely aware of others' gazes but aspire to maintain a distinctive personal style. We can catch glimpses of their determination, complexity, and noble aspiration for freedom. Iinuma's bold and distinctive artistic creations have garnered attention at international exhibitions, and he remains active in the international art scene to this day.
