Original artwork description:

A Japanese girl dressed in a traditional geisha kimono.
This is a new & different (and the last one) version of L'une (70).

from "Memoirs of a Geisha":

"Geisha is an artist of the floating world."

"Remember, Chiyo, geisha are not courtesans. And we are not wives. We sell our skills, not our bodies. We create another secret world, a place only of beauty.

The very word "geisha" means artist and to be a geisha is to be judged as a moving work of art."

This artwork belongs to my "L'une" series.

What is the meaning of L'une ?

It is a double meaning word. I found it appropriate for this series; in French it means "the one" (she), and "Lune" - moon.

It's a moody portraits series, where I want to express the fragility and beauty of the woman features, by trying to capture a moment, an impression. They seem reflexive, or day dreaming, or maybe slipping into a melancholic, undefined mood.
