Kim Suk-kyung: The Narrative of Being Myself

Painter Kim Sook-kyung paints time! In the 1,000-day “painting-flower diary” she kept beginning March 1, 2020, on a journey to find herself, wonderful days gradually became more frequent. Follow her 1,000-day illustrated diary journey. The pictures are me, and I am the pictures… They are also everyday life and the world. Now my paintings have become stories and pictures of everyone’s different lives. “Just keeping an illustrated diary helped me find more happiness in ordinary daily life!” “I was able to discover that I am alive!” “And now this illustrated diary holds the stories and images of all of us!” Ten parts capture beautiful everyday life: 1, a meeting with the “me” who looks at myself; 2, finding meaning in small everyday moments; 3, painting starlight on the threshold and time; 4, an optimistic painter singing of the four seasons; 5, the song of roses on a blue lake; 6, capturing a day in a painting; 7, putting the heart’s light into color; 8, finding answers in ordinary days; 9, the paintings are me, and I am the paintings, nature and everyday life; 10, my paintings have become everyone’s stories and pictures. “Since I began keeping an illustrated diary on March 1, 2020, I’ve welcomed spring four times. What did I gain? Now I see that I was a diligent person! I’m surprised by myself. Every day was precious, every moment valuable. I have more friends now.”
