SPECIAL FEATURES
The geisha is a timeless symbol of refinement, art, and mystery. In Geisha No. 11, this traditional figure is portrayed in a modern and expressive way.

Artist Frank Wagtmans draws inspiration from the delicate balance between tradition and innovation. This artwork is a tribute to Japanese aesthetics, where classical beauty and contemporary artistic techniques converge. The bold colors and fluid transitions symbolize the transience of the moment—a central theme in Japanese culture.
