I majored in painting at Hongik University Graduate School of Fine Arts, drew flowers abstracted in their own form and color, and at the same time, I am also a botanical artist who paints realistic images of flowers. I have been active in abstract painting exhibitions and art fairs at home and abroad, and have held exhibitions in Germany, Japan, and China as a botanical artist after completing the Flora Academy expert course at Seoul Women's University. From 2009 to present, Hyundai Department Store Cultural Center has been teaching botanical art and landscape sketches.
Flowers have the most outstanding formative beauty of objects that implicitly contain human appearance, and the process of creation and extinction has long been an artistic material compared to human life circulating in nature. For me, flowers are a medium that gives me the pleasure of drawing the highest of splendor and beauty.
The work of showing and expressing myself through the medium of flowers makes me think a lot about the existence and value of flowers. From a botanical perspective, the flowers are observed, recorded and reproduced, and then tried to see what was beyond them. Beyond that, our life's appearance, ideas, customs, and thoughts are included to create new flowers. It is the process of feeling the loss of emotion in the instinct behind the colorful background and the falling appearance, and recording the loss of passion created in the absence. Vanitas Vanite, or the futility of life, is told by flowers and plants that are closest or easiest to see. The instincts behind the sparkling scenes and the way they are brushed aside can also cause emotional loss. It is a process of recording and trying to record losses with the passion created in the absence, and an attempt to create a different perspective on the world beyond the reproduction of nature.
I want to express the nature of human existence through flowers.
홍익대학교 미술대학원에서 회화를 전공하고 독자적인 작가 고유의 형태와 색으로 추상화된 꽃을 그리고 있으며, 동시에 꽃의 사실적인 모습을 그리는 보타니컬 아트 작가로도 활동하고 있다. 국내외 추상회회 전시와 아트페어 등 활발한 활동을 하고 있으며,서울여자대학교 플로라 아카데미 전문가 과정를 이수한 후 보타니컬 아티스트로서 국내는 물론, 독일, 일본, 중국 등에서 전시회를 개최해왔다. 2009년부터 현재까지 현대백화점 문화센터에서 보타니컬 아트와 풍경 스케치에 관한 강의를 하고 있다.
꽃은 자연의 질서를 조화롭게 이룬 존재로 인간의 모습을 함축적으로 담고 있는 오브제 중 가장 빼어난 조형적 아름다움을 갖고 있으며, 생성과 소멸되는 과정은 자연속에서 순환하는 인간의 삶과 비유되며 오랫동안 예술적 소재가 되어 왔다. 나에게도 꽃은 화려함과 아름다움의 극치를 그리는 쾌감을 안겨주는 매개체이다.
꽃이라는 매개를 통해 나를 보여주고 표현하는 작업은 꽃의 존재와 가치에 대해 많은 생각을 하게 한다. 식물학적 관점에서 꽃 그대로의 모습을 관찰하고 기록하며 재현한 후, 그 너머의 모습을 보고자 노력한다. 그 너머에는 우리 인생의 모습과 관념, 관습과 생각들이 포함되어 새로운 꽃을 만들어낸다. 화려한 이면 뒤에 숨겨진 본능과 쓰러져 가는 모습에서 감정의 상실을 느끼며, 부재 속에서 생겨난 열정의 손실을 기록하는 과정이다. 바니타스 Vanite 즉, 인생의 허무함을 가장 가깝게 또는 쉽게 볼 수 있는 꽃과 식물을 통해 이야기하고 있다. 반짝이는 장면 뒤에 숨겨진 본능과 그것들이 옆으로 스쳐가는 방식도 감정의 손실을 야기할 수 있다. 부재 속에서 생겨난 열정으로 손실을 기록하고 노력하는 과정이며, 자연의 재현을 넘은 세상에 대한 다른 시각을 만들어내려는 시도다.
나는 꽃을 통해 인간 존재의 본성을 표현하고자 한다.
