Rosa Young, a South Korean-born British visual artist, educator, curator, and professional musician, explores the intersection of music and visual art through diverse mediums including painting, sculpture, digital imagery, and musical performance. With over 25 years of experience teaching art and design portfolio preparation for higher education, architecture, and scholarship applications in London, UK, Young brings a unique perspective to her creative practice. Inspired by classical music, her artistic quest centers on translating musical parameters into visual formats. This exploration manifests in a series of drawings, paintings, sculptures, installations, and digital works incorporating video and computer technology, often alongside live musical performances. Young's process involves layering individual artistic characteristics – such as light, shadow, movement, and musical notation – and then synchronizing these layers to create dynamic modulations and rhythms. She refers to this fusion as "Drawing in Space," where she navigates a structured musical framework with intuitive artistic decisions. By working within the disciplined structure of musical interpretation, she discovers and presents new forms of artistic freedom, resulting in works that are complex in their sequential development and superimposed elements.
