About Jiyoung Hong

My name is Hong, Ji-young and I'm an artist from Seoul, Korea. Epidermis is the main subject that I use in my work. What does true beauty mean to you? In general, people focus more on appearance when it comes to beauty standards. It is obvious because the outer looks have stronger impression with its various colors and shapes. And that is because of the media. Mass media has progressed into defining our perception of beauty and it became so natural that we seem to have no doubts about it. But I’d rather wanted to focus on the beauty inside that are invisible to us. And that’s why I started this project. I tried to express and symbolize this intangible beauty into my artwork so that you can actually see it and feel it. I believe that true beauty comes from the inside out and we need to embrace every aspect of it.
