Amaterasu

 
Original Artwork · By Juamilk · Made in Charlotte, NC
 
Bold, sun-soaked, and effortlessly self-possessed, Amaterasu presents a striking figure surrounded by lush, graphic botanicals. Warm ochre and gold play against an airy blue ground, while the figure’s wide-brimmed woven hat, sculptural jewelry, and patterned dress give the work an unmistakable sense of style.
 
There’s something both serene and commanding about her presence. Her luminous white eyes lend an otherworldly quality to the composition, while hand-drawn foliage and scattered golden details bring movement and texture throughout the piece.
 
Named for the Japanese goddess of the sun, Amaterasu feels like a celebration of light, femininity, nature, and quiet strength.

WHY WE LOVE IT
