Soojung Song

Based in Seoul, South Korea, the artist brings a rich background in visual storytelling, having spent over a decade as a professional illustrator following her studies in Visual Design at Kookmin University. Her transition into fine arts was solidified by an MFA in Painting from Hongik University, marking the beginning of her dedicated exploration of the canvas.
Her work explores the themes of psychological stability and healing, addressing the inherent anxieties of contemporary life through imagery of imagined gardens, animals, and nature. By employing a pointillist rhythm created with layers of gesso and acrylic, she generates a delicate vibration of color across the surface, transcending physical materiality to reveal a profound sensory dimension.
These "gardens" are not mere escapes into fantasy but internal sanctuaries built upon a foundation of tranquility. Acting as a threshold where reality meets the ideal, her paintings serve as conduits for peace, inviting viewers into a meditative space of emotional rest and reflection.
