Hello! I’m Jinha Kim, a fine artist from the picturesque Palos Verdes Peninsula in California, USA. My canvas comes alive with water-mixable oil paint. To me painting is like building a trail that leads to some place where the viewer and the artist could meet.

It's fascinating how interplay of colors, forms, and textures can resonate with our sense of beauty. Whether it’s the delicate balance of light and shadow or the rhythm of shapes, I strive for the visual language that gently touches our emotions.

When I step away from the canvas, I work as a control and automation engineer in the water treatment industry. The precision and logic required in my engineering work find some use in my artistic process. Both fields demand problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a dash of creativity.

Beyond art and engineering, life offers never-ending inspirations. It provides me with laughter, beauty, struggles, heartbreaks, empathy, and wonders. I hope they color my work with authenticity, reminding me that beauty resides not only in aesthetics but also in the human experience.

So, welcome to my online gallery! Explore the pieces and perhaps find something that resonates with your soul.
