For details about the fair, visit here.About this workshopSumi-e, the Japanese art of brush painting with black ink on rice paper, originates from Zen Buddhism and calligraphy. The meditative nature of this practice encourages a focus on the journey or the process rather than the final result.No prior experience is needed, as Sumi-e is accessible to everyone. As Mieke Bouwens says, if you know how to breathe, you can practice the spirited art of Sumi-e. In this workshop, Mieke will guide participants through the basics and techniques, assisting them in creating their own unique work. Participants will soon discover the surprising insights Sumi-e offers. Circles, bamboo, reeds, birds, or clouds will slowly appear on paper, revealing themselves as drying self-portraits, showcasing the power of Sumi-e in quietly revealing what is mostly hidden.About Opleidingsbureau Mieke BouwensMieke Bouwens runs a school that trains actors and artists in Friesland. Her passion for Japanese brush painting has stayed with her throughout her journey, spanning one year at the design academy, four years of model painting classes, four years of Asian ink painting classes, and a master class at the Art Academy Friesland. After living in Asia for a year and immersing herself in oriental art and philosophy, Mieke became a dedicated practitioner of Sumi-e.Opleidingsbureau Mieke BouwensWebsite l Sumi-e | Instagram | FacebookVisit here for more information about the MONO JAPAN Fair 2026.
