Between Strange Solitude and Familiar Loneliness Print

Bomin Kim is a South Korean painter who explores the subtle emotional shifts and introspective moments in everyday life through figurative minimalism. Her works often depict solitary figures facing abstract and quiet architectural spaces, symbolizing emotional thresholds and silent transitions. With a unique balance of geometric compositions and subdued palettes, Kim’s paintings create meditative visual narratives that invite viewers to reflect on their own inner journeys. She mainly works with acrylic and oil on canvas, blending flatness with realism to blur the boundaries between reality and the abstract. Her art tells quiet stories — of stillness, of decision, of emotional clarity.
