A meditation in Kurokawa. The hot springs. The nature. A reprise of a dreamscape like time in harmony and balance.

An article about Jacobs "Tokyo Echoes Collection" by art critic and curator Jacopo Vicini, Milan, Italy:

"Do you know about the influence of Japanese art in Jacob von Sternberg’s creative production?

Great traveler, Jacob is known for his expressive versatility. During his prolific career, the artist has distinguished himself for the high level of multidisciplinary professionalism in his creative research.

After traveling to Japan, he has remained fascinated by Japanese culture and has given birth to a refined #painting series in which he explores the spirituality and phenomenology of the Land of the Rising Sun. The series shows a sophisticated language built on particular expedients that recall the thickness of #Zen calligraphy, the delicate chormatism of Japanese woodblock prints and the suspended atmospheres typical of the #Kanō school.
