Artist Youngjin Kim dissolves a utopian vision into color and light, creating paintings that shine with gentle warmth. In recent years, his style has become more refined—less decorative, more poetic. His work can be described as an aesthetics of innocence: flowers, light, and nature woven together through more than a hundred shades of color.
Soft circular forms appear like seeds of hope—sometimes flowers, sometimes stars—expanding into luminous surfaces that feel serene and clear. Kim’s imagination, rooted in lived experience, becomes light and airy like cotton candy. Scenes of family gatherings and quiet conversation transform into a dreamlike forest, offering comfort and peace.
In Rainbow Blossom, white porcelain-like orbs bloom with delicate flowers. Floating clusters of energy connect each painting like constellations, forming a miniature universe of dots, motion, and breath. A moon glows above the forest, and the landscape opens like a soft heaven. In a world often harsh, Kim paints toward the idea of eternal peace—an innocent world we still long to believe in.
