In Oriental culture, the magnolia flower called “hanakotoba” (literally: words for flowers) symbolizes love of nature, nobility, purity, perseverance and honor. This beautiful and majestic flower combines two opposing natures: the delicacy and softness of the flowers with the roughness and ruggedness of the trunk.

Sumi-e or Japanese ink painting is an ancient painting technique deeply rooted in Zen philosophy. The spirituality of this art form implies that only by turning inward can you see what is outside. Stop the day and space to look into yourself while painting.

It was this great need to be with myself and to look inside my own feelings, to organize my emotions, to look at them like pictures – that stood at the beginning of my path.

Sumi-e paintings are created on fine rice paper. The uniqueness of each work lies in the impossibility of applying corrections. With a single brushstroke (which the artist even practices for hours), both tonal (valor) transitions and form (shape) are created. This makes the artwork impossible to imitate. There will never be an exactly identical image.

Typically, an artist will spend hours practicing one particular movement so that you (as the viewer) can read it as light, free and fine. A sketch made up of a few strokes is the final result of earlier, antsy work. Which often involves repeating, in full concentration, the same passage-which in itself can be an element of meditation.
