Lee Sangmie

Lee Sangmie is a contemporary Korean painter based on Jeju Island, South Korea. She creates oil paintings that capture the quiet beauty of everyday life through the presence of cats, natural light, and peaceful interior spaces.

Inspired by fleeting moments of stillness, her work explores warmth, rest, and emotional balance. Rather than depicting dramatic events, she paints ordinary afternoons transformed by sunlight, inviting viewers to slow down and appreciate life's simple comforts.

Working primarily in oil on canvas and linen, Lee uses expressive brushwork and luminous color to create intimate atmospheres where light becomes both a visual and emotional experience. Her paintings offer gentle spaces for reflection, reminding us that peace can often be found in the smallest moments.
