KIM’s art has evolved from semi-geometric lyrical abstract to more curvilinear abstract composition over the last 30 years. Her current series is inspired by classical music and Buddhist philosophy. She uses oil paint and a palette knife to create harmonious arrangements of lines, colors and dots on canvas. Painting is a way of meditating and liberating herself from the attachment of mind. She wants to share this peaceful energy with the viewers and invite them to connect with their own emotions and memories.
