Sung Sam Park was born in 1949 in Seoul, Korea where he began painting at the age of twelve. His talent and teaching abilities were quickly recognized and by the age of thirteen, while still a junior high school student, Park was teaching painting at the local high school. Park traveled to France after graduating from Jung Ang University. There he studied painting and lived with other young artists in Paris. While there, he evolved his vision of impressionism and hyper-realism. His artistic style today clearly reflects the inspiration of the French Impressionists. Sam Park went on to establish himself in several European galleries, and continues to exhibit in many of them today. Sam Park came to the United States of America in 1994, where he lives on the coast of Southern California. Park’s artistic style reflects that of the French Impressionists with its inviting and sunny compositions. However, Park’s style departs from traditional Impressionism by using precise color combinations and configurations that are detailed and realistic.

While in Provence, Park defined his creative voice by developing New Impressionism. He paints exclusively using a palette knife, with the exception of a small brush for details, and using pure colors to give his work immediacy and vibrancy. Park has honed his skills to the point where he can create works in fine detail, a characteristic not typically seen with a palette knife.

Park’s paintings are based on real places, but he takes a great deal of artistic license when presenting his ideal locations. If a composition requires trees where there aren’t any, or by combining architecture from two different locations, Park composes scenic landscapes just waiting to be explored.

He has exhibited in numerous galleries throughout the country and his works have become highly sought-after.
