Newartis presents four limited-edition fine art prints by Ki Otoko, part of Zendo, a twelve-work collection.
Each work distils a concept —time, the path, overcoming, intuition— into a restrained visual language inspired by Japanese culture and thought.
恋の予感 — KOI NO YOKAN
Premonition of Love
An unconscious oracle, a fleeting flash.
Butterflies within my mind, a longing to decipher.
No one speaks my name, yet I know you’re there.
An omen among shadows, a path I long to tread.
木男 KI OTOKO
Ki Otoko is the artistic name of a Zaragoza-born creator whose work stems from an ability to observe, abstract and distil. His compositions transform visual details into restrained forms in which contrast, balance and meaning remain in tension.

Trained in Translation and Interpreting, his relationship with languages and cultures has shaped a sensitivity to cultural codes and systems of meaning. Japanese art and thought hold a significant place among his references.
Newartis began with a simple idea: a work of art can mean more when we know who created it, what lies behind it and how it came to find its place with us.
We bring the work of independent artists closer to people looking for something more than an object to complete a room
WHY NEWARTIS
Art to look at, think about and live with.
Newartis began with a simple idea: a work of art can mean more when we know who created it, what lies behind it and how it came to find its place with us.
We bring the work of independent artists closer to people looking for something more than an object to complete a room.
We care about authorship, story, materials and the relationship a work develops with the person who chooses to live with it.
