Jiyoung Jessica Park (b. 1996) is a painter from Seoul, South Korea, whose work transforms fleeting feelings into lasting presence.

Drawing inspiration from everyday experiences—quiet moments at home, the warmth of sunlight and a gentle breeze, meaningful conversations and laughter with friends and family, and the expressive beauty of fashion—Park creates paintings that preserve the fleeting moments and feelings she longs to hold onto.

For Park, the desire to paint is inseparable from the desire to experience. Her work allows her to linger a little longer in the feelings she wishes to relive while inviting viewers to do the same.
