Works

In Kim Heejo’s artworks, dozens and hundreds of interconnected pieces compose highly related series. Individual works are produced using line, form, style, and colour as basic formulas.

Likewise, Kim Heejo perfectly shows her insight and artistic synthesis by organically connecting the world with her own worldview in her works, not just only with her visual expression.
