Maria Mitsumori
Midnight Louvre - 24k Gold and Mineral Painting, Architecture Realism, Paris

2020

About the Item

An original mineral painting, made with 24k gold, natural and synthetic minerals, sea shells (calcium carbonate), mica, and sumi ink on Japanese paper mounted on a wood panel. Natural colors include gemstones or precious and semi-precious stones. 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. Inspired by the Louvre at midnight, lit by the moon from above and spotlights from below. Records state that the main pyramid consists of 603 rhombus-shaped glass segments and 70 triangular glass segments. I present the sceneries seen through my eyes in an art form, precisely depicting the magical atmosphere of the Louvre. 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: 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
    This large painting is Mitsumori's very first maiden work. 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. Natural colors include precious and semi-precious stones. 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. What originally inspired her to paint was the cityscapes of Jaisalmer. Jaisalmer is a city in India known as the “golden city” that gleams in gold-like colors at sunset. The city shimmered like a piece of gold jewelry, reminding her of jewelry that retains its shine even after a thousand years. She felt a strong desire to capture them in paintings and set out to do so. Presents 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).
