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, dressed in traditional kimono and refined in behavior — they sing, dance, play musical instruments, practice calligraphy, painting, literature, and are knowledgeable about current social and political affairs. In elite circles, they demonstrate their skills and knowledge, becoming synonymous with a graceful, versatile woman — an eternal inspiration.
For the artist Sanja Brzaković Đurđević, the geisha represents a timeless inspiration that clearly opposes modern instant culture...
The sculpture of a geisha often displays a harmonious and balanced figure, highlighting the Japanese concept of "wa" — the idea of balance and harmony in all aspects of life. Through her calm expression and composed pose, the geisha symbolizes inner peace. She radiates mystery with restrained sensuality, contributing to the complexity of her identity. With a distinctive hairstyle and makeup, she subtly embodies idealized femininity with controlled expressiveness. There are only 43 true geishas in the world.

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