This photograph captures a moment of serene desolation along a stretch of empty railroad tracks. The absence of trains, a temporary pause in their constant shuttle, evokes a sense of stillness and contemplation. In the rhythm of daily life, trains carry countless passengers to unknown destinations, disappearing in a fleeting moment. This image prompts an existential reflection: Where are we, as humans, going today? The empty tracks become a metaphor for our own journeys, the invisible paths we traverse, and the fleeting nature of our destinations. This scene echoes the themes of Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot,' inviting us to ponder the meaning of our waiting and the direction of our lives.

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.
