Original Asian art adds style and stateliness to a decor. The water color, ink and brush paintings available on our site are all hand painted originals that we collect in our travels across Asia. Each is a unique creation that we have personally selected for our collection. While they all follow centuries of tradition and ancient forms, in many there is a distinctly modern flair and even an appeal to a sense of the abstract. In much of the art from China and the rest of Asia there is a convention of balance and an adhearence to Taoist philosophies, particularly the natural harmony of Yin and Yang. You can see this balance in landscape paintings that pair mountains with water or in still life paintings that couple birds or insects with plants and flowers. In many cases finding that balance is more important to the artist than the subject matter itself.
