Maria Mitsumori
Kanazawa - Japanese Cityscape Painting in 24k Gold and Minerals, Realism, Winter

2020

About the Item

An original mineral painting, made with 24k gold, natural and synthetic minerals, and sea shells (calcium carbonate) on Japanese paper mounted on a wood panel. Natural colors include gemstones or precious and semi-precious stones such as gold and quartz (clear-white). 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 has a matt and rich sand-like texture. Depicted is a "Higashi Chaya" district in Kanazawa Japan, on a snowy day in February 2020. In Japanese culture, geisha houses (referred to as “chaya”) have been traditional places for entertainment since the period of Edo. Geishas are female Japanese entertainers who perform dances and play traditional Japanese instruments. The district’s historical wooden buildings retain the atmosphere of its 200-year history. I present the sceneries seen through my eyes in an art form, precisely depicting the magical atmosphere of the snowy Kanazawa. 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). Artist: Maria Mitsumori Style: Japanese mineral painting Size: H53 x W80 x D2 cm (20.87 x 31.5 x 0.79 in) Year: 2020

    By Maria Mitsumori
    Located in Tokyo, JP

An original mineral painting, made with 24k gold, crushed minerals (natural and synthetic), oyster shells and gold-coated mica on Japanese paper mounted on a wood panel.

Jaisalmer is a city in India known as the “golden city” that gleams in gold-like colors at sunset.
