Selfie Portrait

Despite Collection 2023

I have been doing oil on yupo and transparent polyester and it has an interested effect. The transparent background means the light can be seen through the oil paint at certain angles. I painted this from two different reference images and combined it into one to have a "4d" effect of an image in motion.

About

Soyon Kwon is an oil painter living in New York City. She studied traditional realism oil painting at the University of Washington in Seattle. She spreads positive energy through figure and plein air oil painting, drawing her life purpose from seeing reality as if for the first time, as a baby. She sees beauty in everything, especially the overlooked, and thus makes found object soft sculpture as well, creating new “creatures” from recycled fabric and stuffing.

"The main purpose is the experience of absorbing the universe's love with infinite gratitude, and transmuting it with personal power to birth something new."

Materials

Oil on translucent polyester

I enjoy painting on transparent material because the image will look different depending on the lighting. It is a challenge to paint one image combining two separate images but it also allows me to explore and experiemnt more instead of having a rigid reference.
