Geisha girls appear to be a particular fascination for Fabian Perez and once again 'Michiko With White Umbrella,' is a strong addition to the series.
I could stare for many hours just at the white umbrella and the intricate detail Perez has skilfully captured, with the use of oil paints; the floral motif on the umbrella is particularly enchanting.
She is elegant and poised here, in her traditional outfit, looking towards the floor & I cannot tell if this is a posed position by the model or supposed to be Perez painting a natural capture of her.
The colours on her dress are blended together with the softest of paint brush touches and Fabian Perez has created another classic art on limited edition canvas.
Michiko is a Japanese model that Fabian returns to again and again to paint, perhaps based on her elegance and thoughtful, emotive gaze she is usually seen posing with.
A geisha girl in rich dark blue robes, accentuated with red flowers and contrasted against the subtle hues of sunlight streaming through her white umbrella.
Set against Perez's usual black background, the various elements works symbiotically to create a beautiful limited edition painting.
Now Michiko appears in traditional Geisha clothing, all be it without the white makeup; she looks contemplative and Fabian draws our attention with his stunning painting of her clothes and the beautiful umbrella she embraces.
