ABOUT THE ARTWORK
A refined portrait of a traditional Japanese geisha, bringing together understated beauty, harmony and exquisite detail. With her eyes gently closed and her head slightly bowed, the geisha radiates a sense of serenity and timeless elegance.
The deep black kimono creates a striking contrast with the warm, golden background. The richly decorated obi, rendered in shades of gold with subtle red accents, lends the composition a distinctive character. Delicate floral ornaments in her carefully arranged hairstyle add colour and refinement to the overall composition.
The painting is built up in multiple layers of acrylic paint and mixed-media elements. Handmade felt flowers have been incorporated into the floral decorations, creating subtle relief effects and a captivating interplay of colour, light and texture.
The golden background features a tactile surface, framed by dark, subtly nuanced edges. The sides of the linen canvas are also fully painted and finished with a delicate crackle effect, adding to the artwork's distinctive character.
A HARMONIOUS DIPTYCH
Together with Geisha No. 28, this painting forms a distinctive diptych. Both geishas gently bow towards one another, creating a sense of serenity, connection and harmony. The carefully coordinated colours, golden backgrounds and refined details unite the two individual artworks into one elegant and timeless composition.
