Rooted in Zen Buddhist and Daoist principles, these works capture the essence of simplicity, nature, and the transient beauty of life. While classic haiku traditionally adhere to a strict form, Zettl’s Haiku in this series aim for a deeper synergy with his visual art, allowing for a more fluid interpretation that complements each piece.

In this series, each painted Haiku serves as a fusion of image and verse, where words and brushstrokes create a meditative dialogue. The minimalist nature of haiku poetry aligns closely with Zen ideas, emphasizing mindfulness, emptiness, and a focus on the present moment. Likewise, the artwork reflects these values through subtle compositions and refined brushwork, inviting the viewer to explore the quiet beauty in each scene.

Though Zettl’s haiku may not strictly follow the classical structure, they maintain the spirit of haiku by capturing fleeting moments of natural beauty and profound insight. This approach allows the series to form a harmonious connection between Eastern philosophy, poetry, and visual expression, offering viewers a contemplative experience.

Explore the Painted Haiku Series and discover how the fusion of haiku poetry and Zen-inspired painting opens a gateway to stillness, simplicity, and reflection.
