Edit Toaso is a London-based painter working primarily in oil on linen. Her paintings explore ideas of home and belonging through memory, place and lived experience.

Living between places has led her to think of home not as a fixed location, but as something carried through memory, landscape and everyday encounters. Plant portraits and landscapes become companions rather than descriptions of nature, each holding its own character and emotional weight.

Working with traditional painting techniques and hand-prepared grounds, Toaso is interested in the materiality of paint, its physical weight, luminosity and capacity to hold time. Her paintings are built slowly through observation, memory and the physical language of paint.

Empty passages, exposed ground and areas left unresolved are as important as the subject itself, allowing presence to emerge through absence. She is interested in what can remain unsaid and how meaning can arise through suggestion rather than explanation.

She studied Fine Arts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague and the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest, and holds an MA in Fine Arts. Selected recent exhibitions include the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Odyssey at Hastings Contemporary and Emerging Landscape Painting Today at Messums London, Cork Street. She has been longlisted for the Contemporary British Painting Prize and Jackson’s Painting Prize. Her work is held in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum and in private collections worldwide.
