About
Kimari (키마리) is a visual artist, working primarily through painting while also expanding into textile and sculpture.
Her work focuses on material, layering, and traces left through repetition and transformation.
Rather than creating fixed images, she approaches painting as a physical process where forms remain unstable and unfinished.
Using materials such as thread, fabric, clay, and found objects, her works explore fragility, endurance, and states of transition.
Painting functions as an object, textiles extend into space, and sculptural elements appear as fragments or remains.
Her practice reflects ongoing processes rather than conclusions, allowing works to exist in a state of becoming.
