I sell original paintings and high quality giclee prints of my ink painting and watercolor archival artworks. All paintings are hand painted by me.
I welcome any questions about custom orders, available sizes, delivery times and more.

I am a sumi-e ink painter. Sumi-e or suibokuga painting represents Japanese school of ink painting. Suibokuga is a traditional monochromatic Japanese painting, which belongs to a larger group called Yamato-e (which term is used mostly to describe Japanese painting in general).

I participate in european and international art exhibitions. My works appeared in countries such as France, USA, China, Japan. As a member of International Chinese Calligraphy and Ink Painting Art Society ICCPS Tokyo, Japan. I have multiple chances to participate in various international events.

Since April 2014 I am a member of Sumi-e Society of America, Inc.

As an ink painting teacher I am often invited to organise seminars, lectures and live performances during which various techniques are shown, and knowledge regarding the history of the art of ink painting is passed.

I am an artist and illustrator who often cooperates with related publishing houses and book authors, as well as international magazine in Europe and United States. Being an admirer of the Japanese art and design, my paintings follow the traditional school of ink painting, and I use only traditional tools to create my art.

I am a co-founder of Ink Treasures project. Through Ink Treasures pages together with calligrapher Ponte Ryuurui we present the two sister arts, the art of Chinese and Japanese ink painting and calligraphy. It is very difficult to find a good source of information on calligraphy or ink painting in English. Although the project is in process, there are lot of interesting articles on the history and philosophy of the Chinese and Japanese Calligraphy and Ink Painting.
