Soo-Hee Kim

My works are primarily created using hyper-realistic techniques, which means they do not require a long story or message to explain them. I avoid the trends of abstract contemporary art and focus solely on pure painting in order to popularize modern Korean art, which often feels distant.

To modernize and popularize Korean art, my works incorporate both Western and Eastern elements, often focusing on easily recognizable landscapes. I prefer creating artworks that the general public can enjoy without feeling burdened, allowing for communication between the viewer and the artist. I strive to infuse my paintings with care, so that both the artist and the audience can share a sense of fulfillment.

I hope that one day, like music, art can be appreciated more frequently and intimately.
