Still Life Dawn Blue II

Yeon Kyung Park's paintings embrace intuition and chance, exploring the delicate balance between intention and unpredictability. Working primarily in oil, she applies layers of paint only to disrupt them while still wet, smearing and lifting the surface with cloth to reveal unexpected traces and forms. Through this process, Park relinquishes control, allowing the materials and moment to guide the evolution of each composition.

Driven by a belief in the creative potential of serendipity, Park approaches the canvas as a site where emotion, memory, and material converge. Her layered surfaces capture fleeting moments of emergence and erasure, revealing images that feel both inevitable and accidental. Together, the works reflect an ongoing meditation on fate, presence, and the quiet discoveries that arise through surrendering to the unknown.
