ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This painting depicts a hand-painted acrylic portrait of a geisha dressed in an enchanting black kimono, delicately decorated with gold details. The canvas exudes elegance through the use of metallic acrylic paint, which gives a brilliant sheen to the richly decorated kimono. Thick paint textures have been used to add depth and dimension, giving the portrait a tangible vibrancy.
The chosen color palette consists of powerful yet harmonious hues: red, umber, yellow, black, white, and gold. These colors together create a warm and intriguing atmosphere that accentuates the geisha's graceful appearance. Her downcast gaze lends her a romantic and introspective expression, evoking a sense of mystery and serenity.
The painting is carefully signed, giving it a personal and unique character. Moreover, it is finished with a matte varnish layer, which not only protects the painting but also subtly softens the colors and textures, giving it a sophisticated and timeless look.
