SUMI-E

Sumi-e painting ( Japanese Ink Painting on Rice Paper)
The artist is my father



Sumi-e originated in ancient China and was introduced in Japan by Zen Buddhists and since then has become a very important part of Japanese culture...It was introduced in Korea too.
Painting is a form of meditation. This art form requires immense skill, concentration and discipline. In sumi-e once a stroke is painted it cannot be changed. It reminds me of life in a way where fate and time don't grant you second chances…
Sumiye involves one stroke…can’t have backward strokes. Such is life too as in life too each day cannot be painted again and a moment cannot be revived. So we must live every moment and paint a beautiful memory on that moment as once that moment escapes us, that moment can never be brought back or altered...
