Thekairos is a contemporary Korean painter. In the Jewish culture, time is categorized into two distinct realms: Chronos and Kairos. While Chronos represents the linear, measurable progression of time, Kairos holds a more ethereal significance, signifying the eagerly anticipated moment of God's manifestation in the human realm. Within his artistic journey, Thekairos grapples with the existential question of God's existence, employing his artwork as a conduit for exploration, prayer, and a profound trust that divine intervention may yet reveal itself. He envisions his creative process as a path to confirm the presence of God, should it exist, with unwavering faith in the notion that if God were real, He would intervene to save humanity. This unselfish quest for spiritual truth drives Thekairos in his artistic endeavors, as he patiently awaits a divine opportunity, in accordance with the greater cosmic plan.

Throughout this extended period of waiting, Thekairos embarked on an introspective journey that unveiled many of his own human imperfections, including limitations, trivialities, and a propensity for opportunism. It was within the crucible of self-discovery that thekairos birthed the EVE collection—a testament to his evolving spiritual and artistic exploration. This collection explores themes of forbidden fruit and the natural world, rendered through a captivating fusion of oil and digital painting techniques.

In his artistic expression, Thekairos intentionally embraces a free-flowing style, emphasizing the spontaneous strokes and accidental textures that emerge from his creative process. For him, art transcends the confines of precision; it serves as a conduit for the raw expression of emotions and the authentic resonance of the soul. Through his unique and spiritually infused creations, thekairos invites viewers to ponder the timeless and enigmatic interplay between the human spirit, divine potential, and the profound concept of Kairos—an opportune moment for a divine presence to manifest.
