Artist JinYoung M Choi: A Painter of Light and Hope

JinYoung M Choi is an artist whose work is characterized by the delicate interplay of light and hope. Specializing in painting and drawing, Choi predominantly works with acrylics, charcoal, conte, and mediums on linen and paper. Her artistic journey began in earnest with her first group exhibition at Gallery Insaart in December 2019, followed by her debut solo exhibition, *Jin Young Choi Solo Exhibition: The Glimmer and Form of Hope*, at Seoul Gallery within the Seoul Newspaper building in July 2021.

From a very young age, Choi has been deeply contemplative about life and its inevitable cycles of creation and dissolution. This contemplation fuels her artistic endeavors, as she seeks to capture and convey that elusive, almost inexpressible sense of hope—something akin to light itself—within the material realm. Choi approaches the act of painting as a heartfelt ritual, a tribute to the transient nature of nearly all things.

It brings her immense joy to imagine that her work might inspire viewers to perceive the preciousness of life and the subtle light of hope within it.
