The scene plays on the Japanese expression "makura o naraberu" (枕を並べる), which translates to “sharing the pillow.” In traditional Japanese culture, this phrase implies intimacy and closeness, adding a deeper layer of meaning to the portrayal of the geisha, a figure historically associated with beauty, art, and refined companionship. Here, the gesture of cradling the bull—a symbol of strength, perseverance, and good fortune in Japanese culture—adds an intriguing contrast, merging tenderness with power. The bull, often seen in Japan as a bringer of luck, further enhances the notion of shared blessings and harmony between opposites.
The technique behind this woodcut is rooted in the centuries-old tradition of ukiyo-e, a style that reached its height in the Edo period with masters such as Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige. Soleil’s work pays homage to these great Japanese woodcut artists, whose depictions of daily life, nature, and fleeting moments have influenced generations. Inspired particularly by Hiroshige’s atmospheric landscapes and narrative-driven compositions, this piece echoes the master’s ability to capture the quiet poetry of ordinary moments while layering them with symbolic depth.
Soleil’s woodcut, printed on plywood rather than the traditional cherry wood, brings a modern twist to the ancient craft, honoring the past while experimenting with contemporary materials. The precision of the carving, combined with the softness of the rice paper, highlights the timeless nature of the medium, which continues to evoke both beauty and meaning across cultures.
"Geisha Girl" stands as both a homage to the great Japanese woodcut tradition and an exploration of deeper themes of love, luck, and the quiet balance between fragility and strength.

Andreja Soleil is a master of plein air painting (French: en plein air / in the open air).
The painter is particularly moved by the constantly changing dynamics of the ocean along the Fischland-Darß peninsula. She has found her personal place of strength in this Baltic landscape. Nature always paints along with her. Her neo-impressionist painting style lives strongly from waves, spray and the sea.
Landscapes of a completely different kind can be found on the artist's large-format canvases, which are created in her studio. Fairy tales and myths have accompanied her since early childhood. Woven materials in which the boundaries of reality, dream and fiction blur, overlap, unite - Other Worlds. Andreja Soleil lives and works in Leipzig, Germany and Mallorca, Spain.
