Original artwork description:

"Geisha is an artist of the floating world."

"Remember, Aiko, 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."

The ink drawing on the shoulder is done by my son Filip Antonio Ilinca. Actually, this is one of his many unfinished drawings and I try to integrate them in my drawings when I feel the fusion is appropriate. He is a genius, a master of ink drawing, especially miniatures, completely self-taught. He is only 14 years old, but he's already got a large portfolio of great drawings- you can follow his work here:

to all the prospective customers located outside EU:
Please have some patience - For shipping any piece of art outside EU, first of all there is to obtain its export certificate from the Patrimony Office. Then, the artwork & its export certificate must be checked at the Customs Office.

This process may take up to 7-9 days. Therefore I cannot guarantee a fast dispatching of the package. These requirements don't exist regarding all the shipping's inside EU.
