Kaori Miyayama

Ombra luminosa

In a landscape of shadows and fog, which is rainy and grey, the outline of a Fabbri Amarena jar stands out like a well-proportioned white building. Kaori Miyayama has chosen an almost entirely monochrome world for this work, which transforms right in front of us into something bright. In contrast to what usually happens, she has not been seduced by the decoration and colours of the Amarena jar, but rather has focused exclusively on the particular nature of its shape. The scene is lit up by golden embroidery and, as always in her work, everything is dominated by transparency, lightness and the superimposing of weightless elements. The back of the painting is also covered with the same patterns, as if, once she started, she wasn’t able to stop the flow of images which enchant and captivate our eyes.
