Jennifer Lee – Artist Statement
Everything that exists leaves a trace, and I strive to express it. Specifically, everything I see is imprinted with colors
and shapes through light, leaving behind traces of memories.
Rather than leaving those traces as vague memories or colorless, meaningless remnants in the blurred memories or
subconscious, I pick up a brush and add the yearning of my heart to the colors I can express. I want to share with you
my feelings, emotions, and the stories of those moments.
I blend paints, create textures, and tell stories in my own way by harnessing both my intuition and imagination. The
traces of light that enter through my eyes are recreated anew at my fingertips. Through this process, I encapsulate
stories and convey my experiences. I hope that when you look at my work, you’ll pause for a moment to hear my
story.
Everyone lives while reminiscing. It could be regrets about the irretrievable past or fantasies about different places
and times. Through my artwork, I want to transport you to a different dimension that I’ve created. In that place, I hope
you can forget all the pain, regrets, and weariness you’re feeling right now and immerse yourself in deep
contemplation.
The life of an artist is an endless struggle against despair for the joy of creation. I strive to vividly express the beauty
around me in my own way, using light, color, and texture to convey my inner emotions. In this process, what I see
blends with the colors of my emotions. I draw what I want to draw based on my own will, not someone else’s
demands. I often paint landscapes, as they are the best at capturing yearning, but when my mind is in turmoil, I also
paint still lifes. And when there’s no other way to express my heart, I immerse myself passionately in abstraction.
I aimed to convey reality while incorporating the flow of sensory thinking, adding the flow and tremors of light, the
temperature of colors, emotions, and subconscious elements. Through this work, everything about me transitions
into the artwork. I hope my life and existence resonate with someone through my art. I eagerly anticipate the
moment when my work captivates someone’s eyes and stirs their soul, a moment when my creation becomes a
masterpiece. Today, I pick up the brush to divide the moments of my remaining life.
