About InkAru

Where art meets intention.

Born from a deep admiration for Japanese culture and the quiet beauty of Sumi-e ink art, InkAru was created by André Da Silva — an artist and designer inspired by simplicity, balance, and the stories hidden within every brushstroke.

The Essence

Each piece you see here is more than just a design — it’s a reflection of a feeling, a moment, or a philosophy. We believe in creating art that speaks softly but meaningfully, celebrating serenity, strength, and harmony through minimal expression.

Our Philosophy

InkAru was built around a simple idea: that creativity should be mindful. Every product is made individually, avoiding excess and waste, honoring the Japanese value of mottainai — respect for resources and purpose in every creation.

We draw inspiration from timeless Japanese principles such as wabi-sabi (beauty in imperfection) and ikigai (a reason for being), translating them into modern design that feels authentic and meaningful.

The Mission

Our mission is to share a part of Japan’s artistic soul with the world — not just through visuals, but through emotion and storytelling. Whether it’s the bold spirit of a samurai, the calm of a mountain landscape, or the fleeting beauty of falling sakura petals, each design invites you to pause and feel.
