ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Geisha No. 19 is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, built up in rich acrylic layers and enhanced with subtle textural accents that give the portrait its unmistakable depth. Every side of the canvas is seamlessly integrated into the artwork and finished with an elegant crackle effect, adding a touch of timeless authenticity. A protective varnish provides a refined sheen, and the piece is—of course—personally signed by me.
Set against a glowing golden backdrop, the geisha of No. 19 reveals a quiet strength that radiates serenity and poise. Her kimono, shaped by deep red and earthy brown tones, stands in beautiful contrast to the softness of her skin and the delicate ornaments woven through her hair. The color composition is inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics, where balance, purity, and craftsmanship define true elegance.
More than a portrait, Geisha No. 19 embodies devotion, grace, and artistic refinement. Her composed presence pays homage to the cultural traditions she represents, inviting the viewer into a world where heritage, beauty, and discipline merge into a single captivating moment.
