Clare Kim (b. 1996, Maryland) is a self-taught artist based in Brooklyn, NY.
My work explores my fascination with the natural world around us—the sun and the stars, trees and the way they communicate, the vast sky above. Contemplating the interconnectedness of everything in the universe, I often use symbols of nature, animals, and humans to create worlds and scenes imbued with magic. I examine the intricate balance at play in the world as well as within ourselves and this is at times manifested in mirrored imagery that provides a sense of peaceful equilibrium. These otherworldly moments of synchronicity are reminders to look for the divine in the everyday and to see what can’t be seen.
