About this artwork
One of my most intricate and labour-intensive works, this painting began with hand-painted Japanese washi paper.
I carefully layered genuine silver leaf, brass leaf and antique metal leaf, painting over them with traditional Japanese pigments before repeating the process countless times.
Each layer required patience, precision and a deep understanding of the materials. Much of this delicate work is now hidden beneath the surface, yet it contributes… to the richness and depth of the finished painting.
As the light shifts, subtle colours and metallic reflections emerge and disappear, revealing an ever-changing beauty that photography can never fully capture.

« I never know where a painting will take me. That is the beauty of it — discovering something I could never have imagined. I never know where a painting will take me. That is the beauty of it — discovering something I could never have imagined. I paint freely, guided by intuition rather than intention. What others see, feel or discover in my work is entirely up to them, with complete freedom to interpret it in their own way. »
Emi is a Japanese contemporary abstract artist based in Sydney, Australia. With a background in fashion design in New York and Tokyo, her creative journey brings together Japanese aesthetics and an international perspective.
Exhibited internationally, including Paris, Tokyo and Sydney, her work combines traditional Japanese pigments, genuine gold and silver leaf with contemporary techniques developed through years of exploration.
Deeply influenced by classical music and her passion for ballet, Emi paints intuitively, allowing sound, movement and unexpected discoveries to guide her work.
Each painting is built through a unique, unrepeatable process, creating layers of colour and texture that reveal new expressions as the light changes.
