Dain Yoon Illusions

Utilizing a boundless collection of brushes and vibrant paints, the 24-year-old artist from Seoul, South Korea believes her art mirrors the way individuals experience the world in their own subjective way, a theory that has inspired her mind-expanding creations and overall aesthetic. From polymorphic eyes and multiple mouths to blurred effects and intricate details, Yoon paints through a mirror, exploring multifaceted techniques to eloquently express a person’s diversity. And while her work may leave the viewer feeling dazed or bewildered, each painting is 100 percent authentic and shares a unique perspective on our existence.

BASIC: You believe your illusion art mirrors the way people experience the world. Tell us more about these thoughts and how they’ve influenced your overall series.
