Artist HyeYoung Yoon 

I was born in Seoul, South Korea, and moved to the U.A.E. in 2014, where I saw camels walking in the desert with my bare eyes. Since then, I have had a perception that the desert was regarded as a wasteland; however, the beauty of the sand desert fascinated me. Therefore, I started painting while in the desert. The majority of my artworks focus on a metaphysical theme, such as  ‘Loss of humanity’ or ‘Atom’. Art aims to show the coexistence of the past, present, and future by breaking the routine of perception.​​​​

"All depends on what we prefer and value a lot in our lives. My artworks show people have focused on material affluence, which will make all of us greedy and selfish, but we still have to keep our natural humanity."
