Artist Feature | Songnyeo Lyoo on Gallery Viewer
The studio of… Songnyeo Lyoo
Our artist Songnyeo Lyoo is now featured on Gallery Viewer Magazine, the Netherlands’ leading platform for contemporary art. Her multilayered hanji-based works, deeply rooted in Buddhist painting traditions and personal memory, are now accessible to a broader audience through this platform.
For Songnyeo Lyoo, her studio is both a sanctuary and a battlefield: a safe space for quiet introspection, but also a place where thoughts and emotions collide. During her training in Buddhist painting, she learned that maintaining a meditative calm is essential to her painting process. Even the smallest actions, from mixing pigments to adjusting the light, are part of a carefully cultivated work ritual. Also the figures in her work appear to be on a journey toward a world in which they gradually seem to find calm and peace.
