The article specifically covers ink techniques such as Baimiao, Nanga, Haiga, Zenga, Ensō (Zen Circles), Sumi-e, Estamp, and Lavi. In the study, where these techniques belong to East Asian civilizations and their similarities and differences are meticulously analyzed, a comparison is presented from both technical and philosophical perspectives.
 

In addition to the differences between the various applications of the mentioned techniques, the common aspects of these techniques are also examined. In particular, it is emphasized that these techniques, which are linked to the philosophies of Zen Buddhism, are used to express deep meanings and conceptual depths beyond life. Zen philosophy, which is the basis of a less colorist and simple approach, aims to reflect a deep meaning beyond the meaning in the works. The combination of these elements creates the unique and impressive features of East Asian painting.
 

In addition, the article highlights the enrichment of East Asian civilizations, as well as the fact that these techniques have contributed significantly to the development of various techniques in the field of fine arts all over the world.  This important work of Assoc. Prof. Aysun Cançat is a unique resource for art lovers and academics.
 

As Istanbul Gelisim University, Faculty of Fine Arts, our esteemed faculty member  We congratulate Assoc. Prof.Aysun Cançat and listen to her continued success.
