Henrik NolteMeditation 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.

I met him at a summer retreat in Acem in 2011.

But many of his other paintings certainly don't conform to our standard clichés of meditative art.
