No Geum-seon

Painter Hyewon No Geum-seon, a poet and former announcer

Artist No Geum-sun's canvas is another language drawn from the depths of the heart, as well as a record of life quietly built over the past 25 years. The author, who has communicated with the world as a poet and announcer, now fills the canvas with the light and colors that have brushed past the sky of her heart with the tip of her brush.
Artist No Geum-seon's Korean paintings and watercolors faithfully capture the tranquility embraced by nature and the textures of time. A faint breeze lingers within the empty spaces created by ink and water, while warm sunlight spreads over the clear colors, offering us deep comfort.
