“My work is a reflection of my world as well as myself,” Hye Seong says. “I usually prefer to let my paintings speak for themselves. They are very representational and realistic, so I don’t like explaining and adding words about my work. It is my world as I see it and live it in San Francisco. My work reflects an intimate personal journey through life with every single different day here. I have tried to record every day with paints and brushes on a canvas, like a diary. Sometimes I do memos using a camera, so I won’t lose valuable moments from a day. I ‘write down’ those times on the canvas later. “When I paint the frozen moments of my life, at first I try to remind myself of the feeling of that particular experience, and I exaggerate and idealize it. As a visitor to the city, I see it with fresh eyes. I’d like to show the reality I exist in by creating a mood to stimulate the viewer to see their environment in a fresh way.”
Hye Seong Yoon had the honor of painting a portrait of former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, which was then published in the Wall Street Journal. In 2004 a landscape painting was published in International Artist magazine. She has won many awards and honors, from Honorable Mentions to First Place Awards in major shows and exhibitions." Site
