Original artwork description:
This artwork reimagines the samurai as both warrior and living architecture, with elements of Japanese castles integrated into the armor and body. It is inspired by traditional Japanese history and aesthetics, but reinterpreted through a modern, vibrant, almost street-art style. The piece invites viewers to reflect on how culture, history, and identity are carried forward—like a warrior wearing the weight of heritage. The mix of gold leaf, bold colors, and expressive brushwork was chosen to merge the elegance of classical Japanese art with the raw immediacy of contemporary painting, highlighting the tension between preservation and reinvention.
Made on original vintage Japanese paper of 100 years old edo period with rare calligraphy this work blending traditional East Asian elements with modern street art.
Materials used:
Acrylic, Gold foil imitation
