Her artwork is based on NIHONGA method. Primarily, She works with sumi-ink, dry jewel pigments and metal leaf (gold, silver, copper and aluminum). Even when working with a two-dimensional work, striving to create rich textures, reflection and space by using many layers of ink, metal leaf and pigment thus allowing her to capture the feeling of a three-dimensional piece. As a result of this process of layering materials. Another important aspect in her artwork is the composition of metal which creates shifting colors. The fact that metal can change color on its own as time goes by compliments the theme of her work. The theme of my art is “HUMAN FEELING: emotional life.” The roots of her art lies in organic abstraction – fascinated by human emotions – for example, hope, sadness, confusion and love. And interested in the relationships or connections that exist in our minds between ideas and images such as color, sound, rhythm and movement. 희망, 외로움, 혼란, 사랑, 그리고 마음에 존재하는 색채, 소리, 리듬 및 움직임 사이의 관계에 깊은 관 마음을 가지고 있는 곳을 근원으로 하고 있습니다. 추상적인 작품에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 지도와 같은 테마는 이러한 관계에 대한 탐색과 랜드스케이프에 감정과 색채를 매핑하여 이를 명확히 하려고 합니다. 먹, 금속박과 바위 페인트를 여러 층에 쌓아서 태어난 질감, 2차원 작품을 마치 3차원 세계에 있는 것처럼. 또, 그것은 테마인 변용해 가는 「인간의 감정」을 완결시키는 것입니다.
