Great Enthusiasm Painting

My name is Zensho W. Kopp. I was born in 1938 and I am an authorised Zen master, artist and author. For over thirty years now I have been in charge of the Zen Center Tao Chan in Wiesbaden, Germany. From a young age, I became very interesting in Asian wisdom teachings and began an extensive study of the scriptures of Zen Buddhism, Taoism and West-Eastern spirituality. The richness of inner life which I experienced through meditation and contemplation became a profound inspiration for my art. Since then, it has been the focus of my painting to fathom the innermost core of things and to express them in a free-flowing way.
