Artwork Story
"Among few series of works I have been working on for over a decade, my Face series, which incorporate layers of multicultural visual elements on the large face portrait, has been the most important signature work of mine which has been collected over 100 works to various collectors all over the world. My Face paintings are my translation of Eastern tradition and philosophy. I engraved the symbolic universes onto the human faces to represent the philosophy that the intuitive and introspective concept of self is united within the whole of the creation. In Taoist and Buddhist tradition Mandalas have been produced to depict symbolic pictures of the universe and as an aid to meditation. Mandalas can also be visualized in the pure emptiness during meditation. They are described as a symbolic world of reality, which does not exist physically, but exists beyond time and space."~ Mee Shim
