PAINT ARTIST

After leaving my first company, YG KPLUS (2021), I chose to pursue a long-held ambition of establishing myself as a freelance fine artist. As both a painter and a designer, I have sought to build a practice where artistic expression and commercial context can coexist naturally, exploring images not merely as outcomes but as a language in themselves. To sustain this journey, I collaborated with art teams in advertising and music video productions, gaining practical experience while securing the resources necessary to continue my personal work.
 

A major outcome of this period is the “Project Blue” series, initiated in 2021. Comprising around 40 works across painting and media, the project explored the intersection of narrative and materiality, and every piece was fully sold out. Rather than a closed chapter, the series continues to evolve today, serving as a central axis for the development of my visual language. This ongoing body of work led to my first solo exhibition, To the Lost Names, held in 2025 in Le Marais, Paris, where I presented works reflecting on memory, anonymity, and the traces of vanished identities.
 

I do not see the boundary between painting and design as fixed. My practice moves between the two, seeking a balance where sensibility meets reality and concept meets form. I look forward to deepening this dialogue and expanding my visual vocabulary through future projects.
