"Purple (2013)- SOLD, PRINTS AVAILABLE" Fine Art Print

Yvette is a self-taught artist from South Korea, drawing inspiration from her rich multicultural background. Much of her work is characterized by bold colors and black outlines, reflecting influence form both Western and Eastern art. She signs her her work with the pseudonym "kiru" (lower case intended) in her artistic work, following ancient tradition of Northeast Asian artists, who had a two-syllable nickname to represent their artistic identity. Yvette began publicly exhibiting her work in 2009. Most of her work is privately owned and not available for public viewing except for her portrait of Harvard Law Professor Charles Nesson, which is housed at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. When not painting, Yvette studies new media, focusing on prosocial outcomes of social media.
