Biography
Ara Youn is a Korean-born, British-based artist with a boundless artistic journey.
Her artistic journey began in the world of textile art, where she mastered the delicate balance between colours and emotions. This foundation led her to graphic design and fashion. She seamlessly integrated all her experiences with cultural nuances, launching a womenswear label that caught the eye of The Times.
After exploring these diverse artistic avenues, Ara found her deepest connection in painting. The central theme of her paintings is light. By observing the light, Ara remains present and reconnects with the tranquillity of the world.
