ABOUT THE ARTWORK

As a child, I was a little girl who held my mother's hand and drew an elephant in the zoo. In January 2019, I went on a trip to Chiang Mai with my friends. There was a big elephant picture hanging in the lobby of the hotel we stayed, which was very impressive. I painted this picture, recalling the trip to Chiang Mai at that time. Elephants are said to bring good luck. I painted elephants with acrylic paint and flowers with gold and silver pens in the background. I hope all the people who see this elephant will have be happy.

I was born April 21, 1972 in Seoul, Korea, and grew up in Seoul, Korea till I went to Japan after marrying. I graduated from Dept. of Horticulture, College of Natural Sciences, Seoul Women’s University, studied Visual Design at Seoul National University of Science and Technology and Japan, graduated from Dept. of Painting, Seoul Digital University (BFA), and graduated from Dept. of Painting, College of Fine Arts, Hongik University (MFA). I held 24 private exhibitions starting from 2010, participated in more than 230 special exhibitions and group exhibitions and had multiple awards. Currently, I am working actively as director at the Exhibition Planning and Policy Department, Korean Association of Art and member and full-time artist in Korean Association of Christian Artists, Seongnam Association of Art, Writers Association of Bundang, Asia Association of Artists, Art Metro, and Line&Color. My work aims an artist's own story which is quite personal and descriptive. Small but touching experience felt in everyday life through 「The work looking into myself」. Childhood memories and inner story. This is not just an artist's own story but a self-portrait of everyone living today which is rapidly changing. Recently through ‘Urban Landscape Project’, I am not just representing loneliness and mind of people today by a foliage plant’s indoor purification and primarily function to watch leaves in indoor space of the dreary city, but working on focusing on how the space changes when the plants are laid in indoor and outer space.
