Fumiki Taguchi
'White Expression'
This series transforms Japanese heraldic traditions, gothic emblems, and architectural elements into artfully assembled modern designs. The artist uses an innovative technique to reflect and refract light over the surface, mimicking gemstones. Layered with esoteric lustre, this baroque series unifies an array of references in familiar yet fanciful creations.

Once the apprentice of Hiramatsu Yasuki, jewellery artist Fumiki Taguchi studied metal carving and is known for his intricate manipulation of silver to produce brooches and pendants. His work is featured in museum collections around the world, and he is the recipient of several international awards.

"The work itself is inspired by Japanese heraldry, architectural elements, and Gothic traditions, and we all loved it (...) because it was so beautiful and so intricate to look at."
