About

The work is a landscape with a mysterious aura, which subtly crosses the boundary between reality and dream. It is able to reflect a lot of light, creating a more dramatic effect. I use Joseon's old paintings such as Jingyeong Sansu, Sansu painting, Maehwa painting, and Book painting as the original, and convert them into various versions of acrylic paintings, and then add unfamiliar materials such as pearls and crystal jewelry to the paintings to transform them into spectacular images of this era.
