Dongwook Kim's Artist Notes

"The foundation of my artistic pursuits comes from focusing on the place and the present moment I live in. A daily walk around my studio is an integral and crucial part of my creative process since I get to discover subtle differences in the same sceneries I observe - the brightness of sunlight, the changing hues of trees and flowers by the seasons, and even the attire and expressions of people. Following such changes while walking, I find myself adding my own colors to the landscapes and thoughts I gaze upon. After a long walk, I return to the studio and face an empty canvas."
