Mie Yim

Mie Yim was born in South Korea and lives and works in New York. Her paintings feature sugary colors and anthropomorphic elements, creating surreal, organic machine-like beings. Yim’s intuitive approach embraces uncertainty and results in metaphysical portraits that convey pathos, anxiety, and humor. Yim’s practice acts as a bridge between personal reflection and an artistic language that delves into the complexities of the human experience, exploring the duality of beauty and horror, mirroring life and death, and the emotions that lie just beneath the surface.
