An Invitation to Stillness

Bring the meditative beauty of The Empty Mountain into your space — painted by Désirée Paus Sterling in the tradition of classical Asian landscape art, where mountains dissolve into mist and stillness becomes its own kind of beauty.

This work is graced with two traditional red seal stamps, hand-carved by Master Henry Cheng — a Fifth Generation Tai Chi Master and master of Qi Gong, Chinese calligraphy, and brush painting. Each seal renders the artist’s name in ancient Chinese seal script — the three syllables of Désirée translated as “conduct,” “silk,” and “wise.”

“Of silk, conduct, and wisdom, she moves where stillness speaks.”

Printed on Cold Press Textured Matte Fine Art Paper — acid-free, 100% cotton rag. Presented with your choice of mat and frame color, this piece arrives beautifully framed and ready to hang. A Certificate of Authenticity with your edition number is emailed personally by Désirée upon purchase.
