About

Haejin Yoo is a contemporary artist whose work explores themes of identity, persona, and introspection. Working primarily with oil and acrylic paints, she incorporates mixed media such as textiles, carpentry, and spray paint to push the boundaries of traditional canvas art and create immersive, surrealistic expressions.

Her celebrated Woman in the Bath series reflects on private thoughts and the fluid nature of identity, drawing inspiration from the intimate setting of the bathroom. Haejin’s art has earned numerous accolades, including 2nd prize in the 2024 Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize: RAYMAR Traditional Art Award, being named one of Saatchi Art’s Rising Stars for 2024, and winning the First Prize Abstract Award at FIRA International Art Fair Barcelona (2022).

After nearly eight years living and exhibiting in Germany, Haejin has returned to Sydney, Australia, where she continues to explore new mediums and themes, further expanding her artistic practice.
