JUN BAEK
"In a world where technological mastery is rapidly shaped by automation, I believe what remains most vital is the artist’s existence and narrative. In my artistic practice, I always begin with an idea; from there, I seek the most suitable medium, format, and environment to support each concept. Therefore, my work is constantly evolving, ranging from portrait and abstract painting to paper-based sculpture, pen drawing, printmaking, public installation, performance art, music videos, and more. This openness and willingness to learn across disciplines are what I define as an "EMERGING ARTIST".
