Soo Kim

Soo Kim is a South Korean artist who has studied and dedicated herself to the arts since an early age. A graduate with a BFA from Parsons School of Design, Soo Kim has then experimented with graphic design, photography, clay work, and watercolors: however, it was working with alcohol inks that became her medium of preference.

Soo Kim says; “ Discovering alcohol inks has been a transformative journey for me, unlocking a purpose I never knew I was searching for.” As a medium, alcohol ink involves delicately pouring vibrant inks mixed alcohol to then moving it onto a non-porous surface. This creates mesmerizing organic compositions that emphasizes the fluidity of the creative process and with references to classic Korean landscape painting.

For Soo Kim, painting is also more than a creative outlet; it is also a therapeutic practice that can help her navigate challenges, and express emotions. The color compositions play a key role in her unique form of communication.


Soo Kim works and lives in New Jersey, where she is a Glen Rock Arts Council member. Her work is represented in collections in Seoul, Florida, California, New York and New Jersey.
