In Eastern art, there is a natural familiarity with a way of being that contemplates the universe, time, the inner dimensions of the human being, and the experience of unity among these connections. This perspective on existence is not linear but based on a partnership with
both earthly and cosmic nature.
Why is an Eastern image so captivating? Even through the tiniest micro-worlds, we can sense the all-pervading system of the greater whole. It speaks to us by evoking something hidden within ourselves about light, space, time, and meditative silence-offering an opportunity to experience these connections. The pictorial space and our living space are, in a way, the same; therefore, it can serve as a practice in self-awareness. This ego-free world conveys messages without words, communicating abstract concepts.
