Kijeong is a painter who captures warm and cozy moments, and spaces in soft textured hanji paper with shades of blue.

The artist focuses on preserving the tough and soft characteristics of Hanji paper where blunt tools are used to create a textural painting. Alternatively, she would soak the paper with a generous amount of blue paint and spread the modeling paste before getting into the scraping process with sharp tools.

She expresses memories and emotions of familiar things that give a soft and cozy feeling and stability in visual language. Among Kijeong’s work, there are many stories about family where she expressed a lot of emotions, understanding, warmth, and comfort towards her family from multiple roles of a daughter, a sister and a granddaughter. She believes that she will continue to portray a variety of perspectives of woman in her future artwork as she takes on new roles in life.

Kijeong also shared that the most memorable piece of advice she received was that the best starting point to expand an artwork is to first explore one’s identity of “myself”, and then unfold one’s story from there.

She sees International Women’s Day as a day to honour the equal rights of female workers, and believes that it is an important day for people to reflect on its historical significance.
