Joo Yeon Kim was born in Seoul in 1971.

Accustomed to different forms of art, her family brought her up on the path of millennial oriental painting. In 1997, she took a degree in ‘Oriental Painting’ at the Chu Ghe University in Seoul, specialising in ‘Che-Sek-Wha’, an ancient technique where intense fascinations are the result of repeated applications of many layers of natural colours on paper.

Since 1998, Joo Yeon Kim has been working in Rome, where she has attended a Decoration Course at the Academy of Fine Arts. Recently, her works have been favourably welcomed by major art critics.
