Young Park

The artist 'YoungPark' grew up with painting since childhood. She likes to draw, so her childhood books were full of sketchy scribbles. However, her major was to study the humanities and social sciences, which she was interested in rather than art. In addition to her major, she continues to sketch characters and make them into works of interest through research and interest in humans. Perhaps based on this, she worked for a long time as art director in the advertising department of the fashion business responsible for human clothing. However, disillusioned with her trendy commercial art, she begins her 40s as an artist representing her own world. Since she was a child, she has loved to draw, she says, but her choice has always been with people.

‘Because I’m a person, I thought it was the easiest way to express a person, However, the more I make a work, the more difficult it becomes, I think, is the insight into people. So I just started working with various interpretations as I felt them, but vaguely. Even while working, various emotions melt into the work moment by moment in the flowing time. So, perhaps, various emotions are felt through the work. In fact, it is sometimes difficult to name one title for the work. In conclusion The person expressed, the small actions of that person, all the language used, all the backgrounds and situations captured, I work under the big theme of interpreting or expressing such small moments as an observer's interpretation.'
