Sally Kim, born in South Korea as the middle child of three daughters, graduated from Pratt Institute with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art and Design Education, emphasizing painting.

Artist Statement
Sally Kim's artistic vision is centered on crafting dynamic paintings that seamlessly blend diverse subjects, a sense of movement, and vibrant colors, all reflecting her multinational and multidimensional perspective. Having lived in multiple countries such as South Korea, the United States, and Australia, she draws from these varied experiences to create art that is rich in cultural influences, showcasing her experiences living in those three different countries.

One of Sally's unique approaches is her color-mixing process, which she has developed to infuse her art with meaningful vibrancy. By using a variety of colors and distinct shapes, she aims to harmonize disparate elements, turning odd colors into a cohesive whole. Her works often begin with sketches inspired by scenes from her daily life, capturing subjects or scenes that resonate with ordinary people. However, through her use of colors and configurations, she transforms these depictions into enigmatic abstract forms.

Sally’s work emphasizes blending representational, mundane elements with a vibrant palette. This process shows how she likes to add value to the bypassing subjects or ordinary things that seem insignificant. She likes to add more meaningful value to these clichés and typical substances to convey her deep passion for reality and the profound ideas or experiences that define us as one-of-a-kind individuals with various stories. She believes that her distinct artistic styles reflect her heritage and worldview, and she is committed to leveraging the transformative power of art to elevate ordinary subjects into something extraordinary.
