Martine Jacobs - Geisha

Geisha StampArt — Remake 1998/2026 — Martine Jacobs Geisha StampArt is a remake of a work from the StampArt series, which the Dutch artist Martine Jacobs (Amsterdam, 1956) originally created in 1998. In this composition, a stylized geisha, Japanese cherry blossoms, and stamp shapes come together in a layered digital image. The various fragments appear to lie on top of each other like loose stamps and paper forms, creating a playful and dynamic composition. For this 2026 remake, Jacobs has reshaped the original image and executed it as a print, hand-colored with watercolor. This creates a direct connection between her digital work from 1998 and her current artistic practice.
