Description

In this Japanese linocut entitled “Mini Bonsai” from the Maru collection, I wanted to pay tribute to the timeless elegance of bonsai, those miniature trees that embody the harmony between nature and man.

For me, bonsai is much more than a simple ornamental object. In Japanese culture, it is a profound symbol of patience, reflection and resilience. The bonsai I had the opportunity to admire at various exhibitions, both in France and in Japan, were a great inspiration to me. I chose to focus on the silhouette of the tree to capture its purity and almost meditative presence.

With its simple, delicate lines, this print aims to evoke a sober, contemplative beauty. The choice of an uncluttered composition highlights the very essence of bonsai: a refined art form that demands attentive care and a deep connection with nature.

Hand-printed on Japanese mulberry paper, this print respects the tradition of handmade Japanese prints. Each print is unique, signed and numbered, testifying to the handcrafted, authentic nature of the work. The natural variations inherent in manual printing add a special dimension to each piece, making this print an exclusive creation.

This linocut is for those looking for a unique, meaningful work of art, an echo of Zen philosophy and the harmony that defines Japanese aesthetics.

Travel to the heart of Japan through my linocuts

My linocuts are directly inspired by my travels in Japan. Fascinated by this country, its enchanting landscapes and rich culture, I create works that capture the essence of places that have made a deep impression on me. My creations reflect the diversity of Japanese landscapes, from the mystical beauty of its temples to the elegance of its maiko. Each theme is carefully chosen by myself and Sophie to offer an authentic and captivating representation of Japanese culture, and thus share with you a unique vision of this fascinating country.
