Artist Jung Yeo Eun
Seoul, Korea
Artist Statement
The child’s image—characterized by a rounded, curved face, a steady gaze, and slight shoulders—reflects the artist’s own childhood, staring out quietly with eyes full of curiosity.
By layering thinned acrylic paint multiple times, the colors bleed naturally into the canvas, harmonizing with the child's still and tranquil presence. The hair is the most time-consuming element of the work; with the philosophy of capturing the person’s very essence in every strand, the artist uses an extremely fine brush to render each one individually.
