Mijin Kwon
I am from South Korea and currently live in San Francisco, CA. Since I was young, I spent a lot of time with art naturally by scribbling on notebooks and participating in art activities, which became an opportunity for me to become more interested in art. In 2019, I earned my BFA in Fine Art (Painting and Drawing) from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Currently, also from the Academy of Art University, I am pursuing my MFA in Fine Art (Painting and Drawing).
While living in California, I have been naturally influenced by the works of artists in California. Especially, I am inspired by the San Francisco Bay Area with the amazing variety of architecture and different moods of the city with the light, the unique setting, and the variety of weather, so my paintings are created as representational urban landscapes. My paintings are driven by the composition, color, and atmosphere, and are mainly oil on canvas.
