Painted Poem Gallery 「 Unsui Glodfish 」

UNSUI is a Zen word means being free and natural.
In fact it originally discribes free and natural spirit of travelling young monk
who lerned and meditated very hard in the monastry for a long
and just began to practise the teachings and to experience outside world.
How can they apply the teachings to reality?!

I put my all the time favourite - goldfish and
the visual movement and image of Unsui together.
And the shape of goldfish is created to have a KIRIE( Japanese cutting paper collage ) illusion.
This is one of the latest collections which I made 7 paintings all in a similar colour theme and motives. 

goldfish, water and clouds moving swimming and flowing.

Have a beautiful summer holiday.
