The Zen Sho Collection
Soniei's Zen Sho Collection
is a compilation of paintings greatly
influenced by her private practice of Zen Brushwork*. Nonetheless,
Soniei’s contemporary paintings are also greatly influenced by inspiring
adventures in Japan which include: hiking in bamboo forests; participating
in Hanami night-time celebrations (cherry-blossom viewing) under hundreds
of spectacular tree-hanging lanterns; going to trendy clubs in Roppongi
(Tokyo); and climbing Mount Fuji to watch the sunrise above the clouds.
Soniei takes her breathtaking experiences, blends them with her trendy
style, and finally paints this mixture on canvas.
* Only Soniei's contemporary paintings and prints, including the Zen Sho Collection, are for sale. Her
traditional Zen Brushworks are not available to the public. The Zen Sho Collection falls into the decorative
contemporary art category and cannot be categorized as traditional Zen art.
