About the Item

Kazuya Ushioda's "Aika" (2024) is a masterful hyperrealistic oil painting on panel, capturing the delicate grace of a young woman adorned in a richly patterned blue kimono. With exceptional attention to detail, Ushioda renders the softness of her skin, the subtle interplay of light on her features, and the intricate folds of fabric with remarkable precision. The contemplative expression, paired with the deep, warm background, evokes a moment of introspection and quiet beauty. Measuring 41 x 33.3 cm (16.14 x 13.11 in), this painting exemplifies Ushioda’s refined technique and ability to breathe life into his subjects. His meticulous brushwork and luminous layering create a depth that blurs the line between painting and reality. The work is in pristine condition, presented unframed, allowing collectors the opportunity to customize its presentation. A stunning addition to any collection, "Aika" embodies both technical mastery and emotional depth, making it an exceptional piece for those who appreciate hyperrealistic portraiture. Artist Bio: I was born in 1983 in Tochigi Prefecture (Japan), where there is a World Heritage site. I decided to become a painter when I was in high school. The high school I went to was in Mashiko-Cho, famous for ceramic art, and I had the opportunity to touch on the basics of ceramic art in class. After that, I went on to Bunsei University of Arts, went on to graduate school, received my master's and doctorate degrees. In the future, I would like to convey the knowledge I have learned not only in Japan but also in overseas university institutions. I work with the intention to play a part in the development of art not only in Japan but also in the world.

Kazuya Ushioda "The Sound Of Prayer" - Oil On Panel Figurative Painting 2021
Located in Denver, CO
Kazuya Ushioda’s The Sound of Prayer (2021) is a striking figurative oil on panel that captures a moment of quiet reflection. Measuring 44.12 x 11.87 x 0.70 inches, this tall and slender composition features a single figure clothed in a white kimono adorned with delicate blue floral motifs and cinched by a vivid red sash. The woman’s eyes are closed, and her hands are gently positioned near her head, suggesting an intimate state of concentration or contemplation. Painted in oil on a carefully prepared panel, this original, handmade work showcases Ushioda’s meticulous technique, evident in the rendering of subtle skin tones and nuanced folds of fabric. The vertical format accentuates the graceful poise of the figure, drawing the viewer’s gaze downward from her serene expression to the richly detailed kimono patterns. The neutral background highlights the subject’s form, creating a harmonious interplay of color and space. Executed in 2021, The Sound of Prayer stands...
