Kisako Umino - Amore Sculpture

Dome of the Church “ San Frediano in Cestello “, the façade of the Church “ S.Maria del Carmine “ with the famous fresco by Masaccio “ Cacciata dal Paradiso “, and the elegant spire of the bell tower of the Church “ Santo Spirito “. We are Diladdarno in the heart of San Frediano district . It is in this typical florentine place that Kisako creates her sculptures and her tears. Kisako's works capture space with soft shapes revealing a strong character in deep relationship with nature, the central nucleus of her inspiration. The tears , rice paper panels, echo of ancient tradition, made with particular imagination and originality , reveal the oriental matrix . Kisako has always been attracted to archaeological artifacts for the strenght that they emanate thanks to the action of time on shapes and colours. For her works Kisako preferes terracotta that she succeeds to model with impromptu impulse. Her works spring with spontaneity suggested by the fragility of the material. Her sculptures take shape from an embrace of air and light that are so blended to create an aura of mistery that allows us to appreciate the sinuosity of the material modeled with elegance. It is surprising to see the cultural sedimentation that starting from the Far East well harmonizes with Western Culture. From this union emerges her evolution that smacks of silences wisdom colour and form.
