Antonio Hyeok Lee 

As a contemporary artist dealing with violence, I interpret an invisible threat of war, a reality that I have seen and felt. I represent the madness of violence by creating visual works without words. The works convey interpretations of my concerns for the future.
​
I feel calm when I paint flowers and believe the painting of flowers helps to stabilize my emotions and convey the most precious nature, which is love.
