Artist Bio

Sun Joo Kim was born in 1954 in South Korea. The artist experimented with his painting style throughout his career. Early in his career in Korea, he focused on hyper-realism, but was not satisfied with his work. Something was not complete. Searching for new inspiration, in 1991 he enrolled at Facultad De Bellas Artes De Madrid in Madrid, Spain to further his creative process and graduated in 1996 with majors in oil painting and intaglio printing.

In Madrid, Kim changed his focus towards expressionism. Still after several years of experimentation, he had not perfected his painting style. His continued search for his style brought him full circle back to hyper-realism with invaluable experimentation.

Sun Joo Kim currently lives in Madrid, Spain with his wife and daughter. His works can be found in many prestigious galleries & corporate art collections throughout the world.
