Detail of mineral and water-based pigments on washi, SUPCHO

SUPCHO is a Zen-inspired contemporary artist working with mineral pigments on washi to explore color, memory, and time.

Is the color truly there?

Is the form truly there?

Is the impression real?

Working with mineral and water-based pigments on washi, the work explores color as memory—shaped by sensation, resonant music, and time.

Through restraint and layering, quiet depth and presence gradually emerge.
