Geisha N°6

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This artwork is a beautiful hand-painted portrait of a Geisha created by artist Frank Wagtmans. The dimensions of the work are 100 x 150 x 4 cm, painted on canvas, and it is an exclusive copy, of which only one exists.

The portrait shows a Geisha in traditional dress, with a serene, subdued look. She is depicted in a calm pose, with her eyes closed and her face facing down, evoking a sense of inner peace and elegance.

The dominant colors in the painting are rich hues of green and turquoise. The Geisha wears a green kimono with delicate patterns and a black obi (belt) decorated with floral motifs. Her hair is pulled up and decorated with colorful flowers and hair accessories, with pink, purple and green hues standing out against the dark background. The contrast between the bright flowers and the subdued colors of the kimono creates a harmonious composition.

The background is painted in a deep turquoise color, which creates a soothing and almost dreamlike effect and highlights the subtle play of colors in the Geisha's clothing and hair accessories. The attention to detail in her hairstyle and face reflects the artist's dedication and precision. The work exudes an air of sophistication and mysticism, befitting the traditional aesthetic of Geisha culture.

The work is rich in thick paint textures, which enhances the texture and depth of the painting and gives it a tangible, almost sculptural quality. The painter has used a matte varnish with UV filter, which not only provides a subtle finish without gloss, but also protects against discoloration from exposure to light. This preserves the intensity of the colors and details on the canvas, while giving the painting a timeless look.
