"The House That My Mother Built" by Artist Yeon Yeoin

"A selection of work from artist Yeon Yeoin's latest solo exhibition with DIA contemporary. Born and based in Seoul, Yeon majored in Psychology and Creative Visual Arts at Sogang University. Her work is an exploration of emotion through surreal imagery. Using a wide range of techniques, from pen and ink to digital painting, Yeon creates a unique world inspired by her personal experiences and filled with original characters that reflect difficult-to-define emotional states."

""The spaces I lived in, the words I heard, the picture books I saw, and the people I could not help but resemble-all of these built my house. Emotions deserve protection, and a room is everyone's rightful claim. Where was the house that made you? What emotions filled its rooms? And now-are you ready to lay another brick?""

Yeon Yeoin is a Seoul-based artist who studied Psychology and Creative Visual Arts at Sogang University. Her work explores emotion through surreal imagery and original characters. She employs techniques ranging from pen and ink to digital painting to build a unique visual world rooted in personal experience. Domestic rooms and household interiors operate as motifs for formative childhood environments and inner architecture. Childhood rooms functioned as refuges and sites of identity formation where private rituals and picture-book figures shaped emotional understanding. Painting serves as a deliberate practice to translate fragments of memory and feeling into an accessible visual language for viewers.
