‘Hello’ in Ukrainian!
My name is Valeriia Kapitulska, an artist from Ukraine who paints acrylic landscapes. Now I am living and working in South Korea under the name Park Lia. I spent my childhood in Ukraine, graduated from Poland university and after passing through various countries in Europe and the United States, I have now settled in Korea.
Korea is a country with a beautiful natural environment. I believe the scenery that changes with the beautiful four seasons encapsulates the beauty of Korea. I paint emotional landscapes using soft colors and layering techniques with acrylic paint. Based on the countries I have experienced and my time in Korea, I would like to convey the peace and warmth of nature in everyday life through my paintings.
I hope my paintings can make someone’s space more comfortable and warmer.
KOREA
South Korea-based artist Heeju Lee translates fleeting emotions into quiet cosmic landscapes. A graduate of the University of the Arts London (Camberwell College of Arts), she has worked widely across the art field - from contemporary painting to serving as an art director and props lead for Korean films and dramas.
Her practice follows delicate presences: moments that vanish before language forms, memories hovering at the edge of perception, small lives drifting through vast, silent space.
Lee paints these fragile journeys as gentle records of longing, loss, and soft wonder - asking what remains when everything else fades.
She has presented solo and group exhibitions across Korea, expanding her narrative between the cosmic and the intimate.
USA
Mick Park is a contemporary artist who has been exploring human existence and narratives through self-reflection for many years.
With vibrant and rich colors, Mick delicately and realistically depicts the relationship between humans and nature. At the same time, his works create a mysterious and dreamy sense of space, blurring the lines between reality and the surreal, leaving space for your own imagination.
KOREA (b. 1990)
South Korea-based artist Noel Park explores the intersection of the ephemeral and the eternal, using fossilized flowers as his central motif.
A formative encounter in a museum, where he perceived an animal fossil as a delicate bloom, and planted the seed of his artistic journey. Since then, his practice has sought to transform fleeting life into images of permanence, revealing blossoms that exist on the threshold between moment and eternity.
Park emphasizes texture and materiality, often mixing acrylic with sand to create tactile, roughened surfaces. His work ranges from intimate canvases to large-scale compositions. While primarily based in Korea, his pieces have also been acquired by collectors abroad.
KOREA (b.1995)
Seung Young grew up surrounded by the mountains and rivers of his hometown, where nature was not a backdrop but an inseparable presence. Having majored in landscape architecture at university, he developed a heightened sensitivity to spatial perception and the natural environment, which continues to shape his artistic practice.
Deeply influenced by this background, he translates the rhythms, stillness, and quiet dialogues of the natural world into intricate works on Hanji (Traditional Korean Paper), using pigments drawn from the earth and traditional soot ink sticks.
Seung Young has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions across South Korea and remains actively engaged in expanding his artistic journey.
“I see humans and nature as equals, regarding nature as a being inseparable from humanity.”
In his work, nature is not something to be observed - it is something to be lived.
