Through minimal forms and a blend of soft yet bold compositions, Solitude conveys the emotional depth of solitude—where vulnerability meets strength, and silence unveils clarity.

Artist Bio: Amy Kim’s art seamlessly weaves resilience and vulnerability, connection and solitude, and identity and memory into a rich tapestry of visual storytelling. A Melbourne-based artist with roots in Seoul, South Korea, Amy draws from her cultural heritage and multidisciplinary background in painting, design, and education to create works that fuse the tangible with the surreal. Her practice is marked by bold, vibrant forms, fragmented shapes, and organic lines that narrate the paradoxes of modern human relationships and deeply personal stories.
Infused with inspiration from her cultural roots and the intricacies of everyday life, Amy’s art explores themes such as fragmented identity, generational narratives, and the beauty found in imperfection. Combining geometric precision with expressive and minimal abstraction, her compositions invite viewers to find harmony within life’s contradictions. Each piece emerges from a layered process—initial sketches capture fleeting reflections, colours evoke emotional resonance, and intuition guides her hand to create multi-dimensional, evocative artworks.
Through her work, Amy Kim offers a lens through which audiences can pause, reflect, and uncover the ironic elegance of life. Her art bridges the personal and universal, transforming familiar experiences into vibrant, surreal landscapes that provoke thought and invite connection.
