Inspired by the quiet beauty of a Kyoto summer evening, Xiye Wu evokes a dreamlike landscape where fireflies flicker among the grasses, slipping through willow branches and drifting into the softening light.

Layers of muted greens, misty blues, and delicate floral tones gather across the surface. Flecks of color shimmer like distant lights, while blurred forms dissolve into one another, capturing the fleeting magic of a summer dusk.

A gentle vision of an untroubled world, where tiny lights wander freely through the night and time seems to slow beneath the summer sky.

This is a unique, one-of-a-kind original. Once sold, it will not be restocked.

Xinyan

Mineral pigment painting is created using finely ground mineral colors layered onto the surface. The natural particles retain their own texture and luminosity, giving the artwork a rich, tactile quality that changes subtly with light.

Framing

Professionally framed in solid wood and ready for display.
The recessed frame leaves a small space around the artwork, allowing the textured surface and dimensional edges of the wood panel to remain visible.

Handmade Character

Each artwork is painted and layered by hand using mineral pigments and gold leaf. Subtle variations in pigment texture, mineral particles, gold placement, and surface depth are part of its unique handmade character.

Care

Avoid high humidity and damp environments
Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight
Handle gently and avoid touching or rubbing the painted surface
Clean the frame only with a soft, dry cloth
