Ho Jae Kim merges mythology, philosophy, and digital technology to craft compositions that are at once precise and dreamlike. Inspired by Renaissance perspectives and 3D modeling, his paintings explore the liminal space between the real and the surreal, capturing the suspended moments of existence.
