About Keiko Mita

Picture
“I try to create lasting modern designs through themes based on my love for nature and multi-cultural past. My inspiration comes from the beautiful landscapes and crystal blue seas of Rebun, the tiny northernmost island of Japan where I was born. Working primarily in 18K gold and palladium, I combine metal textures and complex shapes with diamonds, pearls and other precious and semi-precious stones. My pieces range from geometric to organic, united by clean lines and minimalist forms. I also like to use color and to create contrasts with gemstones, oxidized silver, and various other materials. My major collections focus on movement, color, texture, and space.”
 
Rebun Island, often stormy and isolated, noted for its rich flora and beautiful scenery, is a powerful influence on Ms. Mita’s work. She discovered metal craft while studying fine arts at Hokkaido University in Sapporo. Fascinated by the idea of transforming cold hard metal into infinite forms, she studied mixed-media sculpture at The Emily Carr School of Design in Vancouver and later earned her degree in Jewelry Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology.
 
Ms. Mita initially produced large embossed works, but eventually turned her attention to sculpture, objects of art, and ultimately jewelry. In 2002, she pursued her dream and founded K.Mita Design in New York City.  She has won many international awards,
 including the prestigious JJA Jewelry Design Award in Japan, and the De Beers Diamonds International Award (Finalist) in the United Kingdom.  In the United States, she secured the MJSA American Vision Award, the Saul Bell Design Award (Finalist) and the De Beers Diamonds Today Award, among others.  Ms. Mita's work appears in fine galleries and museums throughout the United States, such as SOFA & Aaron Faber, the Kohler Arts Center and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.  She has worked with noted fashion designers, and her creations can be seen on television, in jewelry blogs, books and magazines.
