Introduction
Jeong Hae Jin uses "Jinchae" technique which was used by painters in palace during Joseon Dynasty. She also works at Jinchae Research Institute, works on development of traditional Korean silk coloring. Jeong was fascinated by the intense, vivid colors of portraits of the royals and decorations in the museum. Buddhist paintings and tomb murals from Goryeo and Goguryeo Dynasty were of the same materials. Jeong became more fascinated by the fact that Jinchae is used on transparent silk background and express the colorful and serious Buddhist paintings and since then she's been working with silk using its transparency and Jinchae.
