The artist regaining his breath
Meditation can hardly take the credit for all the changes in the life of German artist Henrik Nolte, but it has played an important part. He sleeps better, and he paints better too. In particular, his watercolours are full of sensitivity and psychological depth, but have retained some of the sharp edges and humour that used to be typical of his earlier works. I met him at a summer retreat in Acem in 2011.
