Zen meditation and Japanese ink painting

Sitting in silence is an integral part of all Japanese paths. From this stillness, we immerse ourselves in the spirit of Japanese ink painting. By practicing without intention on bamboo, grasses or flowers, we become aware of the various techniques and possibilities. The Japanese three-line poems (haiku) are a source of inspiration. We freely translate texts into painting or create our own. Through conversation, our actions and the explanation of the background of Eastern and Western art, we deepen the process.
