With “Yumei”, I merge my love of portraiture with my fascination with Japanese culture. In this painting, done with oil and marble dust on canvas, I have created a portrait of a geisha that combines elements of realistic and abstract art. Inspired by classic works of Japanese art, I have captured the essence of grace and mysterious elegance that defines geisha. This work is a tribute to the timeless beauty and cultural depth of Japan, an exploration of the connection between the ancient and the contemporary in art.
