Hyun Jung Ji, born in South Korea, now currently lives and practices as a professional painter in Los Angeles, California.

She gained formal training as a painter at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA where she began to develop her unique illustrative style and meticulous approach to painting.

Hyun’s works are inspired by her childhood. Her painting plays a role as a medium to connect herself of the past with herself of the present. She faces the inner chaos that lies most deeply in her memory to confront the avoided trauma. She produces engaging narratives populated by multiple figures of herself. Her works evoke a sense of fantasy and the subconscious.
