ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Hannyaharamitta is the transliteration of the Sanskrit Prajnaparamita. Prajnaparamita means the perfection of wisdom or the wisdom that leads to the other shore. In my artwork I always return to the Prajnaparamita teachings and time and again I brush some new calligraphies. This calligraphy shows a straightforward semi-cursive version of Japanese characters for the Perfection of Wisdom, Hannyaharamitta. The calligraphy has the following characters 般若波羅蜜多: 般 han 若 nya 波 ha 羅 ra 蜜 mi 多 ta The original calligraphy is not stretched yet. I don't know if you are familiar with rice paper, but when you brush on it, it absorbs the ink and it wrinkles. Therefore the artwork needs to be mounted, which means it is stretched and flattened to take the wrinkles away. Several Chinese and Japanese mounting services in the USA offer art mounting services on the internet. They will be happy to assist you with the mounting. You could also ask your local framer. Please note that the white borders showing in the 'View in A Room' image are not on the original artwork.

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.
