About
I am a contemporary Minhwa artist based in San Francisco, CA.
Artist Statement
My practice is rooted in Korean painting tradition. Using traditional techniques and materials, I interpret Minhwa through a modern lens and connecting it to contemporary life. My art creates a visual pause that make space to feel more steady, resilient, and renewed.
My art practice encourages me to slow down. As Korean culture becomes increasingly popular across the world, my art focuses on the slower, contemplative side. Drawing from the motifs and styles of Minhwa, I explore how Korean aesthetics can live in the contemporary life.
