Siyeong Kim

I was born in South Korea in 1965 and grew up in a rural area where I helped my farmer parents.
I enjoyed drawing people as a child.
I worked in a variety of genres, such as oil painting, printmaking, geolgae (hanging painting), and photography in ways that pertain to cinema.
I have held three solo shows and published three books featuring pictures paired with text. As of now, I devote myself to creating things.
