I am working in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
When I was in college, I studied visual arts such as fine art, traditional crafts, religious art, and design.
And I studied philosophy in graduate school.
I am constantly working on paintings, and I have worked on sculptures, installations, and ceramic crafts and displayed them. And I am an independent curator and critic.
The work is revealed by the surprise of how it can be like that. There were various perceptions of existence, and various stories about existence are being solved from the work.
In painting, I'm trying to express the analogical relationship that exists and doesn't exist through the relativity that is the nature of color.
What inspires you?
From being with me when I started to think I was.
Describe your creative process.
Art is a human act of thinking and expressing. It starts with thinking about taking it out of my body and having a conversation. And what I thought is that I find a way to communicate outside of my body and express it in detail.
What is the most important tool when creating your work?
It's everything I meet from my body.
