Born in Busan, South Korea

A self-taught artist, Sunga uses the fluid and unpredictable nature of watercolors to reveal the mystical elements within people, architecture, and the natural world.

Sunga's paintings are inspired by the cities and landscapes of the places she has traveled. Each place she visits introduces new cultural and artistic themes that seep into her work, enabling her to develop a richer and more delicately textured style.

The role of an artist is to see beyond the surface of a person or object, and into its heart. When you look at an oriental painting, your mind can float along with the objects in the piece. I try to engage the viewer's imagination in the same way.
