There is no definitive answer to the message my work seeks to communicate. I begin my work with mixed feelings between ‘feeling-self’ and ‘conscious-self’. We cannot logically explain cause and effect in our attitudes and expressions, and after they are expressed, we only insert them into the logical flow.
There is no definitive answer to the message my work seeks to communicate.

I begin my work with mixed feelings between ‘feeling-self’ and ‘conscious-self’.

We cannot logically explain cause and effect in our attitudes and expressions, and after they are expressed, we only insert them into the logical flow.



Me, self-portrait with femininity, myself, the revelation of the unconscious rather than conscious expression, and the indifferent attitude expressed in it are the parts I focus on.

Through ambiguity and omission, I capture and describe those moments by observing unconscious attitudes, gestures, and small moments of behavior that we did not expect.

So the most direct facial feeling and expression are not essential.



Usually, my work begins with expressing the emotions of that small moment when I see an unspecified image, an object, a person, or a space.

Depending on affectivity at the time of work, slightly different emotions are blended together.

And when combined with notes from passing times, one work is completed.

Therefore, all my works are just my little ‘Self-portrait’ and ‘my story’.

These are the moments in life that I and we pass by without intention.



Along with this, the focus of my work is to create an ambiguity that allows my work to be interpreted differently depending on the viewing point and time by recalling and imaging one's own experiences, memories, and memories through my work.



‘ambiguity of emotions’, ‘unconscious small moment’, ‘gestures are another language’

This is the main flow of my work.

Young Park is a contemporary South Korean visual artist. She captures unintentionally occurring behaviors in her paintings, with the exception of obviously recognizable motions and intuitive movements. Park aspires for her works to "become furniture," serving as background music.

Park is chosen as the subject of her work by highly spontaneous intuition. When she lists the objects of the chosen piece, interpretations that convey her to moments that we can't predict pop up all over the place. An unstructured object expresses the momentary mixed sensibility of that moment, which is expressed against reason and universally. She is like a painting, as if she possesses all of the world's emotions; she begins with a chance encounter and expresses her own inner universe at the moment of contact with reality.

Young Park was born in 1977, in South Korea. Her paintings have been featured in solo and group exhibitions nationally.
