With the series “Clouded,” artist Toyoharu Kii honors the fullness of life and its continual rebirth. After birth every being bears the burden of change, like a cloud, on their pure spirit. Expressing his wish for clarity, Kii surrounds the marble figure in Clouded VII with a halo of 14k gold tiles to represent the soothing balm of heaven in the cycle of rebirth.

A leader of the cross-cultural craft resurgence, Japan-based artist Toyoharu Kii creates his intricate mosaics with hand-cut Italian marble and smalti, Venetian glass made by the same Italian family for over 400 years. Using traditional Italian techniques, Kii’s art is nonetheless modern and casts fresh light on the technical art of mosaic making.

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
