Gallery Description
Zen art is considered as one of the priceless legacies of Japanese culture. This art form was created by Zen meditation masters for the benefit of aspiring Zen students and other seekers of wisdom. These artists have chosen the disciplined path of becoming monks and nuns of the Zen sect of Buddhism in Japan. Hence this art form is a very focused, pure and intense form of religious art. The focal point of Zen art is that the character and spiritual power of the monk or nun is transmitted into the painting by the concentration of the artist at the time it was brushed. Zen paintings reflect warmth and vitality giving life to the brush strokes. Zen prints are virtually indistinguishable from paintings.
