Zen

「禅」
The structure of this painting is very simple. It is mainly a meandering creek with grasslands on both sides and two mountains in the distance, one is clear and the other is ambiguous. The color of the painting is light.
This print is generally referred as “A Mountainous Landscape with a Stream”; however, we prefer mention it as “Zen”, because it is our strong perception when viewing it.
There are many ways to describe or define "Zen". One of the descriptions is "to direct enlightenment through meditation", emphasizing the value of meditation and intuition. A much simpler description is "a state of calm and concentration."
Zen will help you release yourself from stress, anxiety, frustration and anger. Instead, it will help you relax and respond to your daily life in a more balanced way.
When you look at this art work quietly, what do you see?
