Estelle SO
Visual Artist & Exhibition Manager
I am Estelle SO, a visual artist who explores diverse methods to capture the essence of different eras and cultural narratives through the use of Korean objects. I engage in both physical art creation, where I draw on paper or canvas, and digital art creation that combines NFTs and technology.
My primary artistic focus is to contemporize Korean traditions and folk paintings by merging them with diverse cultures. I find immense inspiration in the symbolism and vibrant colors found in folk paintings, as they encapsulate the origins and aspirations for happiness. Currently, my artistic endeavors revolve around merging Korean traditional art with captivating stories from various cultures, such as fairy tales, myths, and folk legends.
In addition, while running an art and cultural association, I plan and manage art exhibitions and events, promoting the diversity of art by bridging the art scenes of Korea, France, and the metaverse world.
