About the Item
A 2023 work of Maki Kuchida. Maki paints with natural mineral pigments and uses aluminum and copper leaves (laminated) on silk.
Maki loves to capture the sentiments we feel in our daily life when meeting people along the way. In a world that can sometimes feel rushed and impersonal, encounters with individuals whose warmth, kindness, and genuine demeanor leave a lasting impression.
A smile is infectious, it's not just a curve of the lips; it reaches the eyes, crinkling at the corners with a sparkle that reflects the inner kindness. This smile makes us feel seen and valued.
The painted size of the work is approx. 24x33cm, while the framed size is approx. 44x54cm. It is framed with archival grade mount. There will be a certificate of authenticity issued with your acquisition.
Maki's paintings may seem deceptively simple at first but indeed the colors and texture are achieved through a labor-intensive and time-consuming process as painting on silk for one color requires at least 8 layers of pigments.
Maki paints using mineral pigments on silk and the work is then laminated on Japanese paper. Maki's work gives a dreamy and surreal perspective, usually it takes weeks to finish one painting, thus each year there will only be about 10 to 15 works created, Maki Kuchida is a highly collectible artist.
BIOGRAPHY OF MAKI KUCHIDA
Maki Kuchida was born in Shizuoka, Japan in 1979. Passionate in painting she devoted her time to study at the Tokyo Zoukei University majoring in Oil Painting and graduated with her first fine arts degree. That did not end her pursuit for perfection in her art career, she went to Beijing to further her studies and in 2007 she obtained her MFA degree from the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing with major in Chinese painting. She likes to use the traditional delicate Chinese brush technique, which is also prevalent in Japan, to paint her works on silk or Japanese rice paper.
Maki is inspired to paint landscapes and figures, she combines the Chinese and Japanese style painting on silk and rice paper with using mixed media materials like mineral pigments, color inks, and gold leaves. In one of her debut series “Premonition Dream,” she painted herself as that protagonist little girl wandering inside her dream and facing various dreamy landscapes and adventures.
When she paints she puts focuses on the greatest details to perfect her works: almost hyperreal protagonists in a dreamlike and surreal fantasy world. Her works arouse and awake the inner world of viewers and remind them of their childhood, long-forgotten dreams and the imaginary fantasy land inside.
