Yellow Geisha

This portrait reflects a moment of quiet introspection, where stillness carries its own presence.

With eyes gently closed, the figure holds a sense of calm awareness, as if turned inward rather than outward. The surrounding color adds energy and contrast, while her expression remains grounded and composed.

There is a balance within the piece, between vibrancy and restraint, movement and stillness. The composition invites the viewer to slow down, to sit within that space rather than move past it.

Built through layered color and expressive mark-making, the painting reveals subtle shifts in tone and emotion over time.
