About The Artwork

Sumi painting of the Buddhist Goddess of compassion and loving kindness Avalokiteshvara, called Kannon or Kwannon in Japanese, Guanyin in Chinese. Kannon has both a male and female identity. I have depicted Kannon in her female form, sitting on a rock, in the wilderness, with a bright full moon. With these pictorial elements I wanted to create a scenery that evokes true freedom, unimpeded compassionate activity and clarity. The cursive Japanese calligraphy depicts a phrase from the twenty-fifth chapter of the Lotus Sutra: Kannon observes all sentient beings with eyes of compassion; an immeasurable sea of blessings . Size of the calligraphy in cm: 42 x 30 x 0.2 cm.

My artwork comprises Zen calligraphy, watercolor and ink paintings, and abstract calligraphies. My mediums are ink, watercolors and natural pigments on rice paper, mainly Xuan paper. I wield the Chinese and Japanese brush, preferably the flexible sheep's hair brush. Many of my Zen calligraphies express the Emptiness teaching from the Heart Sutra, which has been the original inspiration for my Japanese calligraphy artwork. Other calligraphies focus on the teachings of the Diamond Sutra, Platform Sutra, or depict Zen koan, Zen poetry or single kanji. In my watercolors and ink paintings I strive for a pictorial synthesis of the subject, in the spirit of Japanese ink painting, using bold washes and vivid brush strokes.
