About the Artist
Expressing Universal Beauty with Serene Light and Shadows
Based in Ishikawa, a place full of traditional arts, ceramic artist Yoshie Kitahama has established a unique art style quite different from the traditional style. She creates organic forms by hand and draws geometric patterns with the platinum decoration technique using liquid platinum. She captures the energy and calmness of nature with her unique sensibility and locks in the fleeting beauty in her artwork. The appearance of the artwork changes depending on the angle and light, making it look serene and dreamy.
Style
I try to express natural phenomena in my own style. I mainly coil build or hand build my ceramics and decorate with reliefs and platinum decoration on a black base.
