The Old Zen Master: A Minimalist Portrait
What would an old Zen master look like? The answer may surprise you. The more we try to depict him in detail, the further we drift from his essence. This creates an artistic challenge: finding the delicate balance where the concrete meets the abstract, where the inexpressible is felt rather than seen.
Old stick in his hand,
Master walks with silent grace,
Mind rich, untold gold.
"The Zen Master" explores the Zen principle of reduction. The goal is to strip away as much as possible, leaving the viewer free from any attachment to specific forms. In this artwork, the focus is not on the picturesque but on suggesting spaces and realms beyond the visible. It invites contemplation and the viewer's inner reflection.
Ready to hang! Matted and with a black frame.
