About Agnes Bae

Toronto based contemporary figurative artist Agnes Bae was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea where she was a music and piano teacher. Currently, she is an art instructor of Canadian Korean Times Art Center in Toronto. Agnes’ art work takes full advantage of the colour palette to express her creativity. Some common themes found in several of her works is the “Fairy tale realism”, focusing frequently on wonder and the motifs of nature in the subject including the birth of the formative moments of life symbols and abstract images. Dreaming in harmony with the lines of the changed shape are messages of expression; these images represent moments in life where dreams and reality can coexist. Agnes has been a very specializing in expressive , colorful paintings in film based on true story and wants to sublimate it aesthetically through the contemporary art work. She is also very interested in abstract figurative paintings of emotional situation, filtered through memory, experienced and emotion feeling. She loves the continuous modes characterized by the ideas of pluralism. She has grown fond of heavy mediums but at the same time, she tries to crossover to illustration and watercolor. She believes there are no such boundaries of the mediums and styles.That is how she paints to communicate her ideas and feelings freely. Agnes truly believes that art is a venue in which one can communicate ones soul and spirit and her art works being sold internationally; Asia, Europe as well as Canada.
