Geisha N°13 is a tribute to the timeless beauty of the Japanese geisha. This painting is composed of multiple layers of acrylic paint, meticulously built up to create a deep and rich appearance. Both the background and the kimono are enriched with metallic gold paint, giving the piece an elegant glow and refined sense of luxury. Thick textured paint adds a tangible relief, bringing the work to life not only visually, but also physically.
The edges of the canvas are fully painted and finished with a subtle craquelure effect, giving the piece a softly aged look and a classic, polished presence — entirely frame-free.
