Putting the easel out-doors shattered my perspectives and priorities. Nature becomes everything. The senses merge with the sky, the sea. It is as though the painting paints itself. I have learned to leave these paintings alone. The critical mind must be kept away. Once I have forgotten the painting and rediscover it, and find that it is alive, then I am happy.

“the deterioration of nature is closely connected to the culture which shapes human coexistence”. Pope Benedict XVI

Never have we been more visible, never less present.

"In modern art, as everyone knows, the beauty of deformity is very often emphasised, insisted upon. But how different is Korean deformity. The former is produced deliberately, the latter naturally. Korean work is merely the natural result of the artisan's state of mind, which is free from dualistic man-made rules... Here lies buried the mystery of the endless beauty of the Korean artisan's work. He simply makes what he wants, without pretension". Yanagi Soetsu
