About this artwork
I never quite know where a painting will take me. I simply follow my intuition, allowing colours, shapes and textures to find their own way.
This painting has been built up through countless layers of genuine metal leaf and colour, many of which are no longer visible. Each layer becomes part of the next, quietly contributing to what eventually emerges.
As the painting evolved, it began to remind me of a hidden garden, full of life, colour and unexpected… little discoveries. It wasn't something I had imagined at the beginning, which is what makes the process so fascinating to me.
I particularly love how the antique Japanese metal leaf and genuine silver leaf interact with the changing light, revealing different colours and details depending on when and where you look.
For me, the beauty of painting lies in these unexpected moments. Even the layers we can no longer see remain part of the whole, just as our experiences quietly shape who we become.

« 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.
