Abstract
Existe un Arte denominado Contemplativo y Meditativo, que trata de representar lo espiritual y lo inmaterial y que es realizado en estado de Meditación.
La característica principal de estas pinturas es la monocromía y la economía de elementos. Son el resultado de una profunda concentración y están realizadas en una sola sesión. La temática es fundamentalmente Budista, representaciones de Lohans y Bodhisatvas, todos ellos envueltos de espacios vacios que ayudan a comunicarse con el silencio interior y a meditar sobre lo esencial y lo espiritual.
Los monjes budistas pueden llegar a alcanzar a través de la meditación practicada a diario, las condiciones psicológicas con las que este tipo de arte puede producirse.
Analizamos la vida y obra del artista Chino Li Shutong (1880 – 1940) que fue un artista educado en la más pura tradición China, que se convirtió en Hong-Yi cuando se hizo monje Budista. Con las obras de este artista-monje podemos entender cómo se puede transmitir a través de la pintura la experiencia de la meditación y en qué medida influye al que lo contempla.
La obra de Hong-Yi que se analiza, pertenece a la Colección de Arte José Mª Prieto de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
There is an Art called Contemplative and Meditative Art that represents the spiritual and the intangible and is done in the state of meditation. The main characteristic of these paintings is the monochromatic element and its structure. This is a result of deep concentration and is done in one single session. The theme is mainly Buddhist, symbols of Lohans and Bodhisatvas, surrounded by empty spaces that help communicate with inner silence and meditate on the essential and the spiritual. Through daily meditation, the buddhist monks are able to reach a psychological state in which this type of art is produced. Let’s study the life and work of the Chinese artist Li Shutong (1880-1940), who was an artist brought up in the most pure Chinese tradition, and whose name was changed to Hong Yi when he became a Buddhist monk. Through his works, we can understand how meditation is transmitted through his paintings and its influence on the observer. The works of Hong Yi that is being studied here belong to the Art Collection of Jose Maria Prieto in the Complutense University of Madrid
