'Silent Soul Scapes' presents a series of figurative and semi-abstract oil and watercolor paintings depicting ethereal spaces evoking atmosphere of calm and contemplation.
Each painting holds a subtle hint of mystery or symbolism, inviting viewers to explore deeper meanings beneath the surface.
The use of muted, natural colors and minimal composition reflects some of the principles of Zen aesthetics, emphasizing simplicity, tranquility, and the profound grace of nature.
These principles served me as guidelines, but not limitations.
Fukinsei (不均斉): asymmetry, irregularity;
Kanso (簡素): simplicity;
Koko (考古): basic, weathered;
Shizen (自然): without pretense, natural as a human behaviour;
Yūgen (幽玄): subtly profound grace, not obvious;
Datsuzoku (脱俗): unbounded by convention, free;
Seijaku (静寂): tranquility, silence.
The creative process behind 'Silent Soul Scapes' was itself a meditative journey. While finding an escape and comfort in the painting process I was aiming to convey the feeling of peace and calmness in my artworks so that the viewers can share the same experience or be inspired to go on the same self-exploration journey and find their own safe and tranquil place.
