Yuki Sumiya is a contemporary jewelry artist based in Kamakura, Japan. Sumiya graduated from Joshibi College Art and Design, Department of Metalsmithing in Tokyo, Japan. In 2005, Sumiya moved to Florence, Italy to study at Alchimia Contemporary Jewelry School. After graduating Alchimia, she returned to Japan and established a jewelry studio in her home. She is inspired by the duality in nature - destruction and creation - and the cycles of life and matter in nature, she creates works on the theme of the indivisible world. She mixes synthetic fibers and natural lacquer utilizing the traditional hollow dry lacquer technique, but replace the linen cloth with nylon stocking materials for a smoother curve and a softer feel. The work simultaneously expresses opposites, such as large yet light, soft looks yet hard, and represents the ambiguity and connection of boundaries. Her work has been exhibited both solo and group in galleries or international fairs such as Cominelli Foundation Collections.
