About the Artist

Babo Tae

Hi, I create my artwork under the name Babo Tae.
Suminagashi (墨流し), literally translated as "floating ink," is a 12th-century Japanese art form. The ink touches the water, dances freely, and the pattern is then "captured" by placing a sheet of paper onto the surface.
It is an art form impossible to replicate: every print is a unique piece, a single moment that will never be the same again. It is a practice of pure presence, especially for those whose minds run too fast.
My journey, however, does not stop on the water's surface.
Through collage on canvas, I dissect and reconstruct the patterns of Suminagashi, transforming the chaos of ink into new shapes, symbols, and visions.
In this encounter between surrendering to the flow and the intention of the composition, I find my balance.
