It Is What It Is | Breath Meditation N°73
The Breath Meditation paintings are a direct result of an active meditation practice, where the rhythm of inhalation and exhalation guides the making of each mark.
This piece is part of the Sessions — an approach focusing on a single meditation, capturing one moment in time.

“This piece began as a delicate, circular Breath Meditation — resembling a tree disk — which I overpainted with Sumi in a moment of frustration. When it dried, the texture that emerged felt like an invitation: I drew another Breath Meditation on top, this time in mineral pigments — Burnt Umber and Gofun.
Now finished, I can't help but see an abstract landscape: a dark mountain covered with woods, a sea below — reminiscent of the Attersee, often painted by Klimt. As if the tree disk had disappeared and transformed into a mountain full of trees instead.
It wasn't meant that way. In the end, it simply is what it is.”
