4 season – Japanese traditional Ink painting.
Since I was very young I was taught how to use traditional ink stick and ink stone for calligraphy and painting. This knowledge is supporting me all through my artist life, not only thecnically, but also mentally.
This art is very far different from western art.
Each stroke of brush is the life. Once it touched down to the paper there is no way to correct.
According to the composition, it never allow being symmetric, neither used perspective way of expression.
4 seasons is a kind of symbol related to the season and it´s symbolic plants and also human nature.
Spring –orchid –young life,
Summer-Bamboos- youth.
Autumun – Chrysanthemum- mature age.
Winter- Plum tree and flowers – ready for the retirement.
