Yeon-Gyeong Seo (Seo)
Seo
Seo is a self-taught Korean artist whose journey has been defined by resilience, passion, and an unwavering dedication to creative expression. From an early age, a single compliment on her painting The Field of Red Grape Vineyard by her elementary school teacher sparked a lifelong pursuit of art, guiding her through years of independent exploration and refinement.
Working primarily with oil paint, Seo delves into a diverse range of themes, including landscapes, still life, portraiture, and abstraction. Her art transcends conventional boundaries, venturing into surreal and symbolic realms to explore the intricacies of human existence, societal dynamics, and emotional depth. Inspired by philosophical concepts and the struggles that shape humanity, her work invites viewers to reflect on their own lives and the world around them.
Nature, as the ultimate genuine artist, profoundly influences Seo’s creations. She draws inspiration from its raw beauty, unyielding power, and infinite capacity for transformation, channeling these qualities into artworks that resonate with authenticity and meaning.
Guided by the philosophy of French artist Jean-François Millet, Seo embraces the beauty of everyday life with a raw honesty that bridges the gap between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Her art tells stories often overlooked in the commercial art world, offering a voice to emotions and experiences that challenge traditional narratives.
Despite the challenges of navigating an art market often driven by trends, Seo's works have found recognition and acclaim both in Korea and abroad. She has been awarded multiple times in over ten Korean art contests, a testament to her talent and perseverance.
In 2017, Seo's artistic journey reached new heights with collective exhibitions in Paris and Lyon, France—an experience that continues to inspire her growth and vision. For Seo, art is not only a medium of expression but also a bridge to understanding and connecting with the world.
