About

I paint what I want to see.

나는 매일 내 마음을 들여다 본다. 그곳에는 내가 좋아했던 오후 네시의 햇살과 귀여운 동물들과 꽃과 나무, 그리고 엄마의 노랫소리가 있다. 나는. 고개를 조금만 돌리면 사라져 버릴듯한 그 순간들을 그림으로 남기고 싶다. 무언가 또한번 해볼 수 있을 것 같은 용기, 내가 좀 괜찮은 사람이라는 확신 같은 것들 혹은 순수한 감동 그 자체. 그런 것들을 그림을 통해 얻을 수 있다면 더 바랄 것이 없겠다.

I wonder what’s inside my heart. I look within everyday. There, I find the four o’clock sunlight I love, cute animals, flowers and trees, and mom’s singing. I want to capture in my paintings those fleeting moments that might disappear if I turn my head, even for a moment. The courage to try something once again, the quiet certainty that I am a good enough person, or simply the pure feeling of being moved. If I can find those things through painting, I don't think I could ask for anything more.

Yoona studied Fashion Design and Textiles in Seoul, Korea. She then spent more than a decade working in e-commerce fashion merchandising at eBay Korea and Samsung C&T. While living in San Francisco, she fell in love with the quiet beauty of abstract painting—the accidental blur of colors, subtle shifts in tone, and unexpected patterns and combinations. Children’s doodles, dogs, babies, trees, and flowers often find their way into her paintings.For a time, Hanoi was home-a peaceful chapter of life shared with her husband, three children, Choco, their brown underbite poodle, and a huge mango tree, before returning to Korea.
