Episode 9 of our series Impact of Visual Arts features a conversation with Cristina Dominguez, a mother of two who works as an educational counsellor and teaches Sumi-e painting. 


Sumi-e, or Japanese ink painting, is the essence of Japanese aesthetics. Sumi-e conveys the everlasting beauty and intricacy of the natural world using just black ink and carefully maintained white space.


Taller Balam is a studio and gallery where Cristina and other artists market their works and share their own artistic style with the world.

Stay tuned for Cristina's thoughts on Sumi-e art in the next episode with our host Payal Nayar.


Cristina Dominguez is a Sumi-e artist. She enjoys developing and recreating Japanese aesthetics that developed during the Tang Dynasty of China. Chinese Zen Buddhist monks brought the contemplative brush painting method to Japan, where it was modified to the Japanese style and named Sumi-e.

"My proposals are not strictly artistic," Cristina explains, "I'm actually looking to create a framework where people can rest, rest, and reconnect by creating."

Taller Balam hosts a workshop where people may sign up for Sumi-e classes taught by her and learn their methods first hand. 


Tune in as she shares her thoughts on her classes, exhibits, and, in particular, Sumi-e with our host Paya Nayar.
