As a writer-turned-painter, Uny seeks to overcome the limitations of speech and words to express feelings and notions with visual images. By communicating with the world through warm and cheerful paintings conveyed by animal shaped characters interpolated with bright and intense colours, Uny has the unique ability to weave a story from one canvas to another. 

 

The young, South Korean artist reimagines the world through animals, juxtaposing both the light and heavy aspects with the use of colour, layering and other techniques using various materials to create thick textures. The process of putting a story on a picture mobilises imagination and allows for a new perspective and different interpretation of her work, unique to every person.
