The Piece
Feraya — the name means She Who Dares — was born not in a silk hall but under a moonlit sky, in a kingdom between the hills of Ethiopia and the plains of Sudan, surrounded by the women whose histories were braided into her.
The crown is the painting. Allibe treats it as the carrier of every one of those histories rather than as an object of rank, building it up in heavy worked passages while the face beneath stays deliberately open. The smallest canvas in the collection at twenty inches square, and the densest per square inch.
History & Provenance
Kat Allibe is a French-born contemporary painter working in Reno, Nevada, and the originator of Emotional Impressionism. She painted privately for over thirty years — more than 150 works, almost none of them sold — before entering formal study at the Milan Art Institute in 2025.
Viridian Eclection is her private dealer. This painting comes directly from the studio, with a certificate of authenticity issued and signed by the artist.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
The lowest entry point into her originals, and the easiest to place — twenty inches square goes on a bookshelf, a narrow pier, or into a gallery wall without rearranging anything. For a first-time buyer this is the one that gets them into the work.
Available for private viewing at The Morris Hotel Building, Reno. Trade and design enquiries welcome.
Every piece is packed with professional-grade materials: multiple foam layers, double-boxing, directional and fragile handling labels. For large furniture we use custom timber crating. We photograph packing before dispatch and can provide images on request.
White-glove delivery is complimentary within 100 miles of Reno, NV. National shipping quotes provided at checkout. All shipments are photographed and documented. Damage claims must be filed with the carrier; we provide all documentation needed to support your claim.
Local pickup is available at Viridian HQ (Reno, NV) with 2–4 days notice. Contact us to arrange. Private viewings also available.
All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
Have a question? — we're happy to provide additional photos, condition detail, or discuss the piece directly.
