손미량

Miryang Son expresses the anonymous presence of those undergoing the sorrowness of life with love as their sorrow or solitary lives also reflect the painter's own life.
Her interest is to visualize people's face in tragic situations caused by the fact that we are born as human beings and also by inner feelings of depression and insecurity.
As she believes that art is impossible without a deep compassion and insights into human existence, she paints the face of acquaintances with affection for their companionships and with a heart of compassion for their tragedies.
손미량은 익명의 존재들이 겪는 생의 슬픔을 애정을 가지고 표현하고자 한다. 그들의 슬픔 혹은 고독한 삶은 결국 내 자신의 삶이기도 하다. 인간으로 태어난다는 사실에서 기인하는 비극적 상황과 우울하고 불안한 내면의 정서가 어떻게 얼굴그림으로 가시화될 수 있을까가 이 작가의 관심이다. 인간존재에 대한 깊은 연민과 통찰 없이 예술은 가능하지 않을 수 있다. 결국 작가는 인간에 대한 애정과 그 비극에 대한 연민의 시선과 마음으로 지인의 얼굴을 그린다.
