This unique painting technique is created by dipping a

brush into ground ink, letting it dry in water, and then

painting it onto a paper or silk canvas. Because of
this, paintings made entirely of black and white have
a focused, monotonous quality. Ink wash paintings,
also known as shui-mo paintings, which originated with
Chinese calligraphy, frequently include trees, flowers,
landscapes, animals, birds, and people. Additionally,
Chinese poetry is frequently read alongside them.

Details is not really important in Shui-mo, it depicts

scenery that often related to the poem it is with. This

technique is simple yet aesthetically pleasing to the

eyes it really captures my sense of comfortability in
the concept of minimalism.

The Bronze statue of Shiva depicts Shiva in severe

and wild mood—an unusual representation of ‘the
destroyer’ in itself, since he is normally represented
meditating peacefully. His attitude here is due to his
having become a tormented, wandering beggar in
search of peace, after cutting off one of Brahma’s
five heads in anger, as revealed in the Hindu stories of
the Trimurti.

Shiva is the God of Destruction, Time, Arts and Dance;

The Destroyer of Evil; God of Yoga and Meditation;
and also Supreme Being in Shaivism. As he is usually
depicted meditating this depiction of him is really
unique as it shows personality of the god and gives a
peek on the god's emotions.

The Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai created The

Great Wave off Kanagawa as a woodblock print,
most likely in the latter half of 1831, during the Edo
period of Japanese history. The image shows
three boats navigating a storm-tossed sea, with
Mount Fuji visible in the distance and a huge wave
forming a spiral in the center.

This piece one of the most recognizable artworks

in the world. It is a terrifying scene yet it show to
be beautiful at the same time.
