About the Item
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 as a testament to Ushioda’s dedication to capturing stillness and introspection in contemporary figurative art. As a collectible piece of fine art, it represents a fusion of traditional attire and modern painting sensibilities. Its understated elegance and refined craftsmanship make it a captivating work for both seasoned collectors and those newly discovering Ushioda’s artistry. Whether displayed in a private residence or a public gallery, The Sound of Prayer invites viewers to pause and embrace a moment of tranquility.
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.

Julius Kronberg’s Angelica – A Romantic Heroine of Renaissance Legend
Located in Stockholm, SE
Literary Origins of Angelica
The subject of this painting is Angelica, a princess from the epic chivalric romances of the Italian Renaissance. She first appears in Matteo Maria Boiardo’s Orlando Innamorato (1483) and reappears famously in Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso (1532). In these poems – part of the Matter of France cycle of Charlemagne and his paladins – Angelica’s extraordinary beauty ensnares many knights, including Orlando (Roland) and his cousin Rinaldo, sparking rivalries and adventures. Ariosto’s narrative particularly highlights Angelica’s tumultuous journey: at one point she is stripped and chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster (a scene mirroring the myth of Andromeda) before being dramatically rescued by the valiant knight Ruggiero on his winged horse. Ultimately, however, Angelica chooses her own destiny. She falls in love with a humble Saracen soldier, Medoro, whom she nurses back to health, and she returns with him to her far-off Asian kingdom – an affair that drives the heartbroken Orlando to madness. This independent resolution (marrying outside the circle of Christian knights) made Angelica an emblem of feminine agency and romantic idealism in Renaissance literature. Her story remained popular in art and literature through the centuries, symbolizing the allure and elusiveness of love.
