Ku Mi

Tokyo-based artist .
My journey as an artist began when sketches from my notebook caught the attention of a gallery, leading me to start my career as a painter.

While studying education at university, I also pursued two paths as a teacher and a dancer. Through studying dance in New York and participating in Vogue dance battles, I experienced the power of expression that connects people beyond gender, nationality, and cultural differences.

In recent years, I have also studied Chinese martial arts, developing focus, discipline, and a deeper awareness of the body. These experiences in dance, martial arts, and different cultures have become essential sources of my artistic expression.

In 2025, I held my first international exhibition in Brooklyn, New York. Experiencing diverse forms of art expanded my perspective and inspired me to explore more colorful works as well as new forms of expression, including AR art.

My paintings are created from the emotions, experiences, and perspectives I have gathered throughout my life. Through my unique background and sensitivity, I continue to explore the possibilities of my own visual language.
