Wonsang Lee

I am an artist who breathes life into the moon.

My journey as an artist began during my time as a truck driver. On lonely nights on the road, I found profound comfort in the moon, and I intentionally sought it out in the night sky. My art stems from the longing I felt on nights when the moon was hidden from view.

In my work, I always paint a full, complete moon. This is my way of expressing the comfort and presence I desire, not only for myself but for everyone who looks to the night sky for solace. Through my oil pastel creations, I aim to share the gentle warmth and unwavering comfort that the moon has always offered me, hoping my art becomes a sweet breath of moonlight for you.
