Statement

I’m a new painting artist, originally from South Korea and moved to Ireland in 2017. Life got tough when my mom passed away, and I faced family issues, panic attacks, and depression. But in 2022, something changed—I started painting. In this self-taught journey, I discovered the therapeutic power of art, a tool not only for self-expression but also for finding solace and healing. Painting became my sanctuary.

My message is simple: it’s okay to be yourself. Everyone is unique, and life is a journey where nothing is normal or abnormal. Through my paintings, I hope to convey the message with others who might be going through tough times like me. I’m not an art expert, but my art tells a story—of struggles, victories, and lots of colors. Life is a journey, and in every painting, I hope to show that even when things seem dark, there’s always a chance for something bright.
