Prices are displayed with VAT for EU countries. For other countries the sales price will be deducted from European taxes once the destination is entered.
Inspired by Hokusai's original work - The Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji - and the Ukiyo-e artistic movement, this harmonious landscape in springtime hues pays homage to the poetic Japanese concept of Nagori. This miniature painting incorporates key elements of Japanese culture and imagination, such as the Sky and the Moon (tsuki), Mount Fuji and the Sea, which is omnipresent in the country's tradition and history, as well as in "Nagori", which can also be translated as "the rest of the waves", the imprint left by them once they have receded.

Mohamed takes on the theme of the seasons and more particularly autumn, "Who" by associating it with an iconography composed of elements occupying a particular place in the Japanese imagination. Using his paintings based on pure pigments, the artist offers here an intense contrast between the red, orange and yellow autumnal hues of the maple forest in the center, acting as a line of symmetry, and the darker colors of on either side, representing Mount Fuji enveloped by a full moon night, and reflected in the sea.
“This work is a meditation on seasonality but not only: imbued with the concept of Nagori, it is more subtle and profound. “NAGURI FUJI AKI” refers us to our own emotions and acts as a metaphor for the very particular relationship of humans to the passing of time, of our behavior in the face of the temporalities that govern our existence.” M.K.
