Hikari is a captivating original artwork by Amanda Padfield, painted directly onto a traditional folding fan before being expertly framed as a striking wall piece. Named after the Japanese word Hikari, meaning "light" or "radiance," the piece beautifully captures a sense of warmth, hope and quiet illumination.

Inspired by the beauty and symbolism of Japanese art and culture, Amanda celebrates the elegance of nature through delicate cherry blossom, shimmering gold leaf and luminous blue skies. The radiant gold centre draws the eye outward, reflecting the meaning of the title and evoking the gentle glow of sunlight filtering through blossom.

The fan's graceful shape enhances the composition, echoing centuries of Eastern artistic tradition while transforming a functional object into a unique work of contemporary art. Layers of rich texture, intricate detail and Amanda's signature embellishments invite the eye to wander across the surface, revealing new discoveries with every viewing.

Set within a deep box frame, the artwork appears to float against a dramatic black background, allowing the vibrant colours and metallic highlights to truly shine. Both sculptural and painterly, Hikari is an exceptional statement piece that brings elegance, tranquillity and a touch of the Far East into any interior.

As an original, hand-painted artwork, no two pieces are ever the same, making this a truly one-of-a-kind addition to any collection.
