Geisha
🟥 Geisha (Gei – art, Sha – person) — a symbol of Japanese tradition, embodying grace, beauty, and discipline. The preservation of Japanese cultural heritage is linked to the artistic performances of these mysterious women. Highly educated, with distinctive makeup, traditional kimono attire and refined manners, they sing, dance, play musical instruments, practice calligraphy, painting, literature, and are familiar with social and political trends. In elite circles, they demonstrate their skills and knowledge and stand as a synonym for a graceful, versatile woman — an eternal inspiration.
For the artist, Sanja Brzaković Đurđević, the geisha represents a timeless inspiration that clearly defies instant culture...
The sculpture of a geisha often presents a harmonious and balanced figure, emphasizing the Japanese concept of "wa" — harmony and balance in all aspects of life. With her calm expression and controlled posture, she symbolizes inner peace. The geisha radiates mystery with restrained sensuality, contributing to the complexity of her identity. With her specific hairstyle and makeup, she subtly symbolizes idealized femininity with controlled expressiveness. There are only 43 true geishas in the world.

The sculpture may symbolize cultural, historical, or social values, conveying an important message or story that enriches the space in which it is placed.

The Japanese tradition of “omotenashi” (hospitality) can be incorporated into the interior through elements that evoke Eastern culture.
