What is sumi-e?

Sumi-e is inkwash brush painting originating store from China over a thousand years ago, and embraced enthusiastically in Japan, Korea and now internationally. The name sumi-e (水墨畫) literally means water+ink+painting. It is not simply to reproduce the appearance of the subject, but to capture its soul. East Asian ink wash painting may be regarded as an earliest form of expressionistic art that captures the unseen.

The essence is to convey with the least possible strokes. Once a stroke is painted, it cannot be changed or erased. This makes sumi-e a technically demanding art-form requiring great skill, concentration, and years of training.

I love to leave ample white space in my Chinese ink wash paintings so as not to distract, as well as to allow room for the viewer's own imagination. This stems from the Taoist line of thinking - sometimes not doing anything is action in itself. My style is that of "follow the heart" and "go with the natural flow", which also reflects the way I live.

Good news! My shop has resumed accepting international orders from outside of North America.

The delivery time within North America is back to normal.
Due to reduced air transportation, mail from Canada to Asia and Australia will be slower than normal. Shipments to Europe have also been affected but not as much. Unfortunately, the delivery rates for outside of North America has drastically increased since Covid, and that's out of my control.

If the shipping rates are a deterrant, you can go to my website at oystudio.com to browse my art and order prints, and other printed products. I partner with FineArtAmerica/Pixels which are still in operation with fulfillment centres in North America, Europe and Australia. Orders will be accepted there, printed and delivered to you by FineArtAmerica/Pixels at your local shipping rates.
