About the artwork

This painting shows a modern geisha in quiet side view, the face turned slightly down so the line of the nose and lips reads with elegant clarity. Soft rose washes gather around the eyelid and drift into delicate specks near the temple. The kimono introduces a refined floral motif that whispers rather than shouts, while the open paper preserves generous negative space. Up close you can discover eyelash lines, a subtle sheen on the lower lip and the gentle curve where cheek meets jaw, all rendered to stay crisp at large size.

The image grew from sketchbook notes about stillness and grace. I wanted color to speak softly, letting the pose carry the emotion. The palette balances warm rose and coral with calm gray neutrals so the portrait feels contemporary yet timeless. The intended mood is serene focus, the suspended moment just before a movement begins, when a room becomes quiet and the gaze tells the story.

I built the piece with transparent base washes to place the facial planes and collar. Selective glazing deepened the eyelid and the fold of the kimono, and light dry brush set hair strands and petal rims. A few lifted drops suggest air without crowding the features. In interiors this work creates a refined anchor for living rooms, bedrooms and studios, pairing well with neutral walls, warm wood and soft textiles while maintaining clear wall readability.
