Zen Art

“A painting of something that is considered as Zen, is not a Zen painting.”

I've remembered that for quite a long time. A wisdom from a Zen monk that I met many years back.

Zen is everything that is, everything that is not, and everything in between.

Zen is a subtle presence and a steady consciousness. Zen is the reasons and the actions.

Zen is the flow and the stillness.

“A Zen painting will evoke a Zen mind in another soul. That's all what matters.”
