PERFECT POST
Mixed Media on Wood
18” x 18” | 46 cm x 46 cm
Private collector, Canada
This piece shows two Japanese girls coming up with the perfect social media post together. This is a scene that you will encounter regularly, especially when visiting places like Kyoto where it is customary to walk around the city in kimono or yukata with your friends to take pictures.
Right now, painting the beauty of Japan helps me deal with feeling homesick for the country I had to leave behind last year.
All my life, saying goodbye has been difficult for me. The first time going to school involved huge crying fits that ended up with me throwing up, just because I had to say goodbye to my mom.
I have become better at handling goodbyes over the years but it hasn't gotten any easier.
I really miss the magic and the excitement of living in Japan, the enthusiasm with which my wonderful Japanese friends shared their beautiful culture and country with me. When I left Japan I felt like the magic had left from my world, I was back in reality, this painting helps me bring some of that magic back to life, having this piece on my easel made the country I miss so dearly feel just a little bit closer.
This painting is like looking at a floating world, it captures the elements of Japan that their art is famous for as well as the longevity of their culture and their value of tradition.
This artwork allows you to (re)-discover (JAPAN) through the artist's eyes. At first glance it reflects reality, but there is a little mystery there, exploring it in detail has the same relaxing and calming effects as traveling.
Japanese minimalist esthetics and traditional imagery and material are blended seamlessly with modern techniques. The painting has a dreamlike dimension and the use of color brings a pop to the room and elevates the space. It is clear that a lot of craftsmanship, time and care were put into this artwork.

IS THE ARTWORK SIGNED?
Yes, all original artworks are signed on the front in the lower right corner. They also have their title, date, artist name and a signed certificate of authenticity on the back.
IS THIS PAINTING READY TO HANG?
Yes all my wood panel pieces are all ready to hang, most have a wire on the back or, for larger pieces a set of eyelets that enable flush mounting (flush mounting is highly recommended for pieces larger than 48”x36”). My paintings are not framed but the sides are painted black so they show beautifully without a frame. If you prefer to have it framed I can arrange that for you but that will add to the cost, which I can quote for you. Because framing adds weight and volume during shipping you may prefer to have your local framer do the work.
