Jessica Woo Jung Ghil (b.1992, Seoul, South Korea ) is a London-based painter whose work reflects a profound engagement with the meditative process of repetition, aiming to capture and visualise an ideal state of mind. For the artist, painting serves as an existential exploration of an inner sanctuary—an undisturbed realm untouched by the constant stimuli of the external world. This process acts as a form of inner self-portraiture, with the quietude or 'jeongjeok' symbolising a personal state the artist aspires to reach and inhabit. Drawing inspiration from nature’s enduring essence, Ghil uses silence as both metaphor and medium, striving to embody a state of pure presence.
