These are familiar faces, yet they evoke unfamiliar feelings. Through bold, expressive brushstrokes and a vibrant palette, the portraits transcend realism, drawing the viewer into an introspective encounter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50493\" src=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2025\/05\/15113903\/%EB%A8%B8%EB%A6%AC%EC%97%90-%EC%86%90%EC%9D%84-%EC%98%AC%EB%A6%B0-%EC%97%AC%EC%9E%90Woman-with-Her-Hand-on-Her-Head-116.8-%C3%97-91-cm-oil-on-canvas-2025.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"770\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Woman with Her Hand on Her Head, 116.8 \u00d7 91 (cm), oil on canvas, 2025<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each painting is a mosaic of colors\u2014clashing, harmonizing, layering\u2014coming together to form a single impression. These vivid expressions stir something quietly powerful: the realization that within a stranger&#8217;s face, we may recognize a part of ourselves. Perhaps that is why these faces feel both distant and deeply intimate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50497\" src=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2025\/05\/15113914\/%EC%98%A4%EB%A5%B8-%ED%8C%94%EC%9D%84-%EA%B8%B0%EB%8C%84%EC%B1%84-%EB%88%84%EC%9B%8C%EC%9E%88%EB%8A%94-%EB%82%A8%EC%9E%90Man-Resting-on-His-Right-Arm-80.0-%C3%97-116.8-cm-oil-on-canvas-2023.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"411\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Man Resting on His Right Arm, 80.0 \u00d7 116.8 (cm), oil on canvas, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This exhibition invites viewers to rediscover their own emotions, memories, and long-forgotten impressions.
