My name is Bo Song (송보경 Song, Bo Kyung). I was born in 1968 at Seoul Korea. I am currently living and working in Unjung-dong, Korea. In my prior years, I had the pleasure living in several countries namely, New Zealand and United States. I graduated from Oakland University of Studio Art in Michigan, USA in 2016 and I studied Hongik Graduate Art School of Art Practical Specialist Course in 2016, DanKook Graduate Art School in 2017 in Korea.
My journey as a painter began in the summer of 2012 at the humble age of 44. What was a simple delight in a hobby let to discovery and recognition by professors. Taking the paint brush in my hand, this epiphany drove me to immerse myself into the artistic world. When I began oil painting, the canvas became "meditation" for healing in my mind.
I create my works depending on my environment. I have always been fascinated with colors, and above all, I am attracted to the charm of the expressing the vitality of life through them. I showcase my art through the concept of energy from nature and human sprits. Everything that is alive brims wih beauty, and that which lives is ever moving and changing.
I layer colors and shaped in a spontaneous process based on intuition rather than planned sketches or drawings. I enjoy experimenting with "colors" and "shapes." I painting using bright, rich pools of unmodulated colors in various subject matters. Indeed my imagined scenes and painterly brushwork indicate my ability to make paintings without inhibition.
Since 2017 as Buddhist, notions of Karma and zen are present and clearly visible in my paintings. I also frequently draw upon the concepts of the ancient mandala, a circular symbol in Buddhism and representative of the cosmos. I often incorporates circles and spheres into my works, signifying the connected natures of past and present.
My painting works help me to become more empty, or distant than before. In order to preserve this states, I would always practice paintings just as fish are always remains awake. I would like to paint as an asthetic would, fully immersing myself and enjoyung every state of the pratice.
