Born in Seoul, Korea in 1984 and raised and educated in Sydney, Australia, Yeah Gean graduated from the College of Fine Art at University of New South Wales, majored in Design. She worked as a designer in an Australian jewellery company for a year and one day she decided to see the world. She travelled 29 countries and 40 cities for 5 years, working as an international cabin crew. Currently, she is based in Seoul, Korea, working as a full-time artist. From her cosmopolitan life style, the artworks are inspired by semi-consciously created ‘after-images’ that are based on feelings and memories of cities where she has travelled before.
Yeahgean shows a great interest of abstract and portrait painting as the list of her influential artists includes Klimt, Egon Schiele, Alphonse Mucha and Jackson Pollock.
