Omoide means souvenir in Japanese. It is the portrait of a young girl with a kimono madeof gold and silver leaf. 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 is textured with acrylic paste painted with oil colours while the okimono is made of gold and silver leaf.
Ready to hang, edges are painted. Signed on its back, it comes with certificate of authenticity.
This painting, along with the others composing the series, was displayed during my solo exhibtion at Consulate of Japan in Milan early this year.
