Wema Mbili - Natural Pink Coral Stone & Japanese gold Leaf, 3D Textured Painting

2022

This original abstract painting is a 2 piece set, sold individually. Both are highly textured mineral paintings, made with Japanese blue-gold leaves, natural and synthetic minerals and partially resin on Japanese paper mounted on a wood panel. Natural colors include gemstones or precious and semi-precious stones, such as green agate (deep matcha green). Because these substances consist of unique chemical and physical properties, every artwork has unique characteristics and a story to tell, with a sense of connection to the earth. All 4 sides are painted with a 3D-like appearance. It has a matt, sand-like texture for mineral areas and a smooth texture for resin areas. "Furaha" means joy and happiness in the Swahili language. Inspired by the rich culture and extraordinary land of South Africa, the artist expresses an environment of respect for differences in traditions and values, each existence as an independent entity. These duo pieces are part of the artist's continuous research on the Four Color Theorem or the Four Color Map Theorem of mathematics, which states that no more than four colors are required to color the regions of any map so that no two adjacent regions have the same color. In mint condition, Certificate of Authenticity included and calligraphy seal in front, hand-signed at the back. Sold unframed and ready to hang (eye bolt and string mounted at the back).

An original mineral painting, made with 3 layers of 24k gold leaves, natural and synthetic minerals, and sea shells (calcium carbonate) on Japanese washi paper mounted on a wood panel. Natural colors include gemstones or precious and semi-precious stones such as azurite (deep ocean blue). Because these substances consist of unique chemical and physical properties, every artwork has unique characteristics and a story to tell, with a sense of connection to the earth. It is highly textured with a matt and rich sand-like appearance. I wanted to let the materials speak as much as the story. Not necessarily in a loud manner, but to communicate the value of authenticity and how they play together as one big piece of jewelry. Beneath all the complex minerals, there are 3 layers of 24k gold leaves covering the entire 80 cm surface. When light passes through various dimensions, hints of gold reveal its presence and brighten the surrounding dark colors in an incredibly mesmeric way. Just like the stars in the sky, you may not see them at times but when they do, they surely brighten up the sky. In mint condition, Certificate of Authenticity included and calligraphy seal in front, hand-signed at the back. Sold unframed and Ready to hang (eye bolt and string mounted at the back).

An original painting, made with 24k gold leaves, crushed minerals (natural and synthetic), oyster shells and Japanese ink on Japanese paper, mounted on a wood panel. Natural colors include precious and semi-precious stones. Because these substances have unique chemical and physical properties, every artwork has unique characteristics and a sense of connection to the Earth. It has a matt and rich sand-like texture. What originally inspired Mitsumori to paint were the cityscapes of Jaisalmer, India. The beautiful cityscapes reminded her of jewelry that retains its shine even after a thousand years. Mitsumori felt that the streets reflected the characteristics of the historical and cultural backgrounds of the people who lived there. Presenting the sceneries seen through her eyes in an art form. In mint condition, Certificate of Authenticity included and calligraphy seal in front, hand-signed at the back. Sold unframed and ready to hang (eye bolt and string mounted at the back).

A large original mineral painting, made with 24k gold, crushed minerals (natural and synthetic), crushed seashells and gold-coated mica on Japanese paper mounted on a wood panel. Natural colors include precious and semi-precious stones such as gold and azurite (deep ocean blue). Because these substances consist of unique chemical and physical properties, every artwork has its own story to tell and embodies a sense of connection to the earth. It is highly textured with a matt and rich sand-like appearance. This painting was selected by the jury of the world’s oldest public exhibition, Le Salon Société des Artistes Français, for the Art Capital show in Paris 2022.
