Sumi-e - Plum Blossoms in Winter, 22 Feb 13:30
Sumi-e Exploration: Plum Blossoms in Winter
I’m thrilled to introduce plum blossoms—one of the most cherished motifs in Sumi-e. Plum blossoms are admired as a symbol of resilience and renewal, blooming in late winter amidst the snow. They embody strength and hope in the face of adversity. As one of the first flowers to appear in the new year, they also represent the promise of spring, renewal, and transformation—a beautiful theme to explore during this chilly season.

"I am a multidisciplinary artist based in the Netherlands, working with ink and clay to explore cultural heritage, identity, and remembrance. As a third-generation Korean Japanese, my practice is deeply influenced by East Asian traditions. In my Sumi-e workshops, I share the philosophy and techniques of ink painting, guiding participants in mindful expression through brush and ink.”

” It was a special experience for me. When you took my hand and we painted together, I felt how much tension there was in my body. I am longing to use the attitude you showed us in Sumi-e schilderen. And I am grateful! Thank you so much for your warmth, kindness and your expertise!”
