Japan in Gold - Okurimono

Okurimono means gift in Japanese. It is the portrait of a young girl who, behind a golden glass, is waiting for someone to whom she will give roses. The wall in the background is decorated with graffiti and made with modelable acrylic paste and, with its urban touch, represents the modernity of the Land of the Rising Sun, which coexists with ancient traditions, represented, in this painting as in the whole series, by gold leaf.

The graffiti wall on the background is textured with acrylic paste painted with oil colours.

Il dipintoThe painting is signed on its back and it comes with certificate of authenticity.

Edges are painted and it is ready to hang.

The painting was displayed during my solo exhibition at Consulate of Japan in Milan early this year.
