Symbols of Seoul

Size: 24 x 36 inches

경복궁 (Gyeongbokgung) was built in 1395, a palace that served as the home to Kings during the Joseon dynasty, the Kings’ households and the government of Joseon.

Inspired by the deep history of this architectural symbol located in Seoul, Korea, I pulled out my rich, royal blues to paint this piece. Then, I finished this piece with orange versions of Korea’s national flower (Rose of Sharon) to create ‘Symbols of Seoul’.

As you look at this painting, I hope you find moments of joy and wonder as I combine the natural – in the orange rose of sharon – with the urban – Gyeongbokgung Palace in the beating heart of Seoul, Korea.

Created with a combination of brushwork, application with a palette knife, and acrylic paint pens, this original artwork has been finished with a satin varnish for protection. The painting comes ready-to-hang with painted canvas edges and picture wire installed. The piece is titled, signed and dated on the back.
