Minseo Jung is a junior at Seoul Scholars International Art and Design, and her work primarily focuses on identity and the exploration of self. She understands herself by expressing her personal experiences and emotions through art. Using creative ideas and unique approaches, her work reflects the ongoing exploration of her identity, inviting the viewer to connect with their own experiences. For me, art is an important tool for self-expression, and through her work, she aims to create moments where people can reflect on themselves and feel a sense of connection with others.
Alexi’s father was the family’s artistic soul, and his legacy influences Alexi’s appreciation for abstract art. Throughout his life, art and drawing provided Alexi with solace and joy, yet he never felt the need to share his work. After his father’s passing in September 2022, Alexi embraced his artistic expression. In the following weeks, his work became more vibrant and personal as he started printing and framing abstract digital paintings, driven by a strong desire to share them. Now, Alexi is passionate about his craft, having cultivated a unique style that stands out. He believes in the lasting strength of his artistry.
