The Art of Mineral Pigments with Makoto Ofune | Bvlgari Shinsaibashi

Contemporary Japanese artist Makoto Ofune reflects on the hidden strength of natural materials, where minerals, gemstones and time become a source of artistic expression. Created for the Bvlgari Shinsaibashi Flagship in Osaka, his one-of-a-kind artwork is crafted by hand-crushing mineral and gemstone pigments before layering them onto traditional Japanese hemp paper. A dialogue between ancestral craftsmanship and contemporary creativity, celebrating the shared pursuit of beauty and enduring savoir-faire. #Bvlgari
