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). Artist: Maria Mitsumori...

An original painting, made with 24k gold leaves, crushed minerals (natural and synthetic), oyster shells and Japanese ink on Japanese paper, mounted on a wood panel. Natural colors include precious and semi-precious stones. Because these substances have unique chemical and physical properties, every artwork has unique characteristics and a sense of connection to the Earth. It has a matt and rich sand-like texture. What originally inspired Mitsumori to paint were the cityscapes of Jaisalmer, India. The beautiful cityscapes reminded her of jewelry that retains its shine even after a thousand years. Mitsumori felt that the streets reflected the characteristics of the historical and cultural backgrounds of the people who lived there. Presenting the sceneries seen through her eyes in an art form.
