About the artwork

This portrait shows a modern geisha facing slightly toward the viewer with a firm calm gaze. Crimson accents sweep across the cheek and eyelid, while soft violets and warm neutrals shape the bun and floral cluster. Transparent washes leave open white paper around the figure so the silhouette stays clear at large size. Small discoveries such as eyelash lines, a quiet lip highlight, and fine edges along the kimono collar reward a closer look without crowding the face.

I was interested in the balance between resolve and grace. Sketches explored how a single red stroke can set the mood while the rest of the palette stays measured. The intention is to feel contemporary and poised at once, inviting the viewer to meet the gaze and pause. The color story pairs confident crimson with gentle violets and clay notes, creating harmony that reads beautifully on the wall.

The work was built with layered washes to map the planes of the face and neck, selective glazing to refine eyelids and mouth, and light dry brush for hair strands and floral rims. Controlled splashes suggest air and movement while the features remain crisp. In interiors this painting anchors a room with elegant clarity and pairs well with neutral walls, warm wood, and soft textiles, offering a refined focal point for living rooms, bedrooms, and studios.
