"The Inner Sun" Painting

Kyungsoo Lee was born, raised, and educated in Seoul, Korea. She began painting as a small child, displaying a precocious talent for art and for painting in particular.
She continues today, many years later, as she has always done: painting.
After receiving her MFA from the Graduate School of Sungshin Women's University in 1983 and she moved with her family to California in 1984. She is among the first generation of artists to be fully trained in a combination of oriental and Western European aesthetics.
She approaches her canvas with apparently little or no preconceived notion of what will occur. She has the disciplined ability to quiet the verbal, analytical part of her mind and allow that silent, creative half of the brain to dominate. Her painting is a process of discovery, evolving from the repetition of gestures and the layering of color over color. Her perceptive color sense lends strength to the delicate line and soft tones of her imaginary natural abstractions and inner landscapes.
Kyungsoo Lee was named "Artist of the Month" and given her first major solo show at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul, Korea, in 1989.
Her paintings are found in collections around the world: collections of museums, corporations, and individuals.
Her life has been a journey, and the only constant in her life is painting. She has developed the ability to speak eloquently with line and color, to convey poetry without words to those who are receptive.
Painting is her true blue friend.
