Originating from my photography work during university, the mother-of-pearl paintings evolved from the traditional Korean lacquer-ware technique, “najeonchilgi.” In this process, I aimed to preserve the radiant beauty inherent in natural mother-of-pearl while transforming it into a contemporary and globally resonant genre of art, focused on healing.

These paintings, born from a desire to capture the abundance, prosperity, birth, resurrection, and regeneration symbolized by mother-of-pearl’s inherent characteristics of embracing and accepting everything from the lowest of the low, transmit my love and happiness energy. Infused with my small heartfelt contributions, they represent a form of art that adds a new creation to nature, becoming another light of life.

Imagine the joy of having a spiritual companion accompanying you on the path of life, always bringing prosperity and good fortune. How happy would one be to walk the path of life, aspiring to live a rich and happy existence, with such a constant companion?
