Geisha with kimono of cherries and cherry blossoms by Britta Glodde

The theme of my latest "Veggie Lady" is cherries, as you can easily see. However, a cherry by itself is quite unspectacular. They are more or less round and small. So what could be more obvious than to bring the cherry blossom into play as well? I don't know about you, but when I think of cherry and cherry blossom, Japan immediately comes to mind. This may be because I have had a love for ancient Japan since childhood. Back then, my aunt had given me a children's book that introduced me to this culture. Since all the pictures in this series are surreal, what could be more natural than to create a kimono out of cherries. On one side 3-dimensional, on the other side flat like a printed fabric. And of course the cherry mouth! I was amazed at how easy it is to represent this fruit as a mouth when you step back a little.
This picture is definitely a must have for lovers of old Japan. But beyond that, I have also received a lot of encouragement from people who have a penchant for pink and vintage. I am very happy if this work finds its way into your rooms and makes you dream a little.
About the creation: The lady was painted digitally. The rest is a photoshop collage of photo parts.
Stay romantic.

Britta Glodde is a digital artist from Germany with Spanish residency and a self-confessed Aries. She has been drawing and painting since her father taught her - today she teaches herself: "I love trying new techniques. That's how I discovered the possibilities of digital art. I started with 3D rendering about 12 years ago, then I moved on to digital painting and for some time now I have been incorporating parts of photos into my works. My style may have changed over time, but my preferred subjects have not. I have a weakness for female beauty (faces and eyes mainly). I like to portray my fantasy ladies in a surreal context. My favourite series deals with women and food - which is not surprising when you know how passionate I am about feasting. Another passion of mine is imagining and writing fantasy worlds/stories. In other words: I think nothing is impossible - I believe in fairy tales - and I can discover magic everywhere. So if I can bring a little magic to your walls, I am very happy."
