Hand-crafted “Contemplation” linocut

This print is the fruit of my passion for Japan, a country that has fascinated me since childhood. I’ve always dreamed of living in an uncluttered interior overlooking a Zen garden, like the ones I’d seen in books. Today, I invite you to share this dream with me through this engraving depicting a scene of contemplation.

The scene depicts a minimalist Japanese interior, with wooden furniture and tatami mats. In the background, a window opens onto a verdant Japanese garden, with trees and a river in the background. Sunlight creates contrasts and shadows on the elements. In the foreground, we see a coffee table with a lacquered top and two cups. It’s an invitation to relax and read, while admiring the landscape.

This print is an expression of my love for Japan and my quest for serenity. It also evokes my childhood memories and current aspirations. I hope you enjoy it and that it brings a little calm and beauty to your daily life.
