Die Serie Daydreaming about Love geht auf einen Traum zurück, den ich vor einigen Jahren hatte. In diesem Traum erscheinen ich selbst, ein Hund (oder vielmehr eine bestimmte Person) sowie ein Kleiderschrank. Ich hatte den Eindruck, dass sich meine damalige Lebensrealität im Traum in surreale und symbolische Bilder verwandelte. Anstatt diese Traumszenen realistisch wiederzugeben, wollte ich meine tatsächlichen Erfahrungen mit den Bildern des Traums verbinden und sie zu einer zusammenhängenden bildlichen Erzählung entwickeln.
Soyoung Park
: “I have a keen interest in traditional arts in general and find particular inspiration in traditional Korean folk art. I express this through Western painting techniques which I learnt during my training. On the one hand, this serves to ease my homesickness; on the other, because traditional folk art is often more than just aesthetic objects. It frequently contains primal and symbolic elements that reflect the rich cultural history of a people and serve as a source of inspiration for me. The figures in my works are created through exaggeration, distortion and abstraction. Through my art, I tell stories about my origins, my dreams or even the story of a third person. I use various materials and techniques, as I select the most suitable media and formats depending on the theme in order to convey the content I have created in the best possible way."
