Commentary on a ShinsungHwa: Avalokiteshvara Most people, even those who have never set foot inside a Buddhist temple, know the name Avalokiteshvara—known as Gwanse-eum Bosal in Korean. For a long time, Avalokiteshvara was on my list of works to create for ShinsungHwa, but it took years before the right moment arrived to start painting her….
Commentary on a ShinsungHwa: Saint Bruno About three months ago, I stumbled upon a quiet little film called The Carthusian Cloistered Monastery, a documentary about the Carthusian monks. At first, I hadn’t planned on creating a ShinsungHwa of Saint Bruno, the founder of the order. But something in their lives—so pared down, so firmly rooted…
Commentary on a ShinsungHwa: Paul the Venetian The ShinsungHwa I’m sharing today came about through a wonderful connection with one of my dedicated readers. They commissioned this piece—a formal ShinsungHwa of one of the ascended masters—and graciously agreed to let me share it publicly. Their generosity in allowing this work to reach a wider audience…
Have you ever sat quietly before a ShinsungHwa portrait of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha? Let your eyes rest there for a while—as if you were in a wordless conversation—and it becomes its own kind of meditation. In moments like that, these works come closest to their purpose: offering something not only to the artist who…
Injeong-Sangwan, also known as Bonju (original owner) Last winter, after finishing a meditation at Geumsansa in Gimje, I wandered over to Injeong Dodeokwon, not far from the temple gate.

Commentary on a ShinsungHwa: Lee Gap-ryong In the ShinsungHwa that depicts Lee Gap-ryong, the energy centers of his body reveal a clear presence of the symbol of light. At the very heart—the spiritual core—layers of this symbol radiate outward, like ripples spreading from a single drop of water. From his head, a path extends upward,…
A Commentary on ShinsungHwa: Rudolf Steiner Let’s start with the first ShinsungHwa. His golden ‘path to the spiritual core’ stretches outward until it nearly breaks past the edges of the image. From that center, waves of golden energy radiate without pause. The force was so expansive that I even had to attach another sheet of…
Commentary on a ShinsungHwa: Neem Karoli Baba This piece is the second ShinsungHwa I’ve created in watercolor gouache, following my earlier work on Ramakrishna. Here, the “symbol of light” emerges from Neem Karoli Baba’s spiritual core, radiating outward in a way that feels both steady and luminous. His presence seems to suffuse the painting, taking…
