The Art of Komi Chen
About the Paintings
The works you see previewed here are done with a unique kind of paint that
keeps its bright, vibrant color over time much better than typical watercolors
or even oil paintings.
The color for the paint comes from crushed natural minerals. When the artist
wants to paint with it, she combines this powdery color base with a heated
glue-like substance that gives the paint its body. Together, these ingredients
give the artist a wide, lustrous, and long-lasting color palette. Collectors
enjoy the peace of mind that comes from using natural ingredients whose
vibrant color will last for generations.
