In her Urban Geisha collection, Monika Nowak takes her inspiration from the emblematic figures of Japanese culture, reinterpreting them with a contemporary touch.
The Geishas she depicts are no longer the guardians of ancestral traditions, but modern women, evolving in an urban environment saturated with pop symbols.
Through striking contrasts of bright colors, graphic elements and onomatopoeia, the artist combines the elegance of tradition with the effervescent energy of today’s urban culture.
These Urban Geishas reinvent their roles, shattering stereotypes while asserting a strong, fearless identity testifying a woman’s ability to reinvent herself in an ever-changing world.
This collection perfectly illustrates the spirit of Monika Nowak’s work: an ongoing dialogue between past and present, between provocation and poetry, where women state themselves as the undisputed heroines of their own destiny.
