Sumi-e, the art of mindfulness
Sumi-e
Eine Philosophie in Schwarz-Weiss nach alten Tradition
Sumi-e heisst „Zeichnung mit der schwarzen Tusche auf Papier“ und kommt ursprünglich aus China. Diese Technik arbeitet mit sparsamen Mitteln und deutet mehr an als dass es ausspricht.
Die Sumi-e Malerei verlangt viel Selbstkontrolle und gleichzeitig eine Natürlichkeit und Spontanität. Es ist eine Kunst der Meditation und innerer Verarbeitung. Der Weg nach einem Ziel ist viel wichtiger, als das Ziel selbst. Es ist eine Suche nach innerer Harmonie.
Sumie - Philosophy in black and white according
to the ancient tradition
Sumi-e means "drawing with black ink on paper" and it comes originally from China. This technique uses modest means and tries more to suggest as to clearly express a specific meaning.
The Sumi-e painting requires a strong self-control and, at the same time, a lot of naturalness and spontaneity. It is an art of meditation and internal development. In fact, the path for a goal is much more important than the goal itself. It is a continuous quest for inner harmony.
January 2020: Special Award of Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs for 3 paintings and the promotion of Japanese culture and ink painting abroad.
