Geisha
🟥 Geisha (Gei – art, Sha – person) — a symbol of Japanese tradition, embodying grace, beauty, and discipline. Preserving Japanese cultural heritage is closely tied to the artistic performances of these mysterious women. Highly educated, with characteristic makeup, dressed in traditional kimono, and refined in behavior — they sing, dance, play musical instruments, practice calligraphy, painting, literature, and are well-versed in contemporary social and political matters. In elite circles, they demonstrate their skills and knowledge, becoming synonymous with a graceful, versatile woman — an eternal inspiration.
To the artist Sanja Brzaković Đurđević, the Geisha represents a timeless muse — one that unmistakably defies the fast, instant culture...
The sculpture of a geisha often portrays a harmonious and balanced figure, emphasizing the concept of Japanese "wa" — the idea of harmony and equilibrium in all aspects of life. Through her calm expression and composed posture, geishas symbolize inner peace. She radiates mystery with restrained sensuality, adding depth to her identity. With her distinctive hairstyle and makeup, the Geisha subtly symbolizes idealized femininity with controlled expressiveness. There are only 43 true geishas in the world.

🟥 Sculpture and environment
The sculpture may symbolize cultural, historical, or social values, conveying an important message or story that enriches the space it inhabits. Sculptures often become a trademark or symbol of a place, making the environment recognizable and emotionally connected to the artwork. The Japanese tradition of “omotenashi” (hospitality) can be integrated into an interior through details inspired by Eastern culture.
