About the Artist
Master artist Seokjung Lee Byung-man is a traditional Korean painter who has long expressed the depth and spiritual essence of Korean painting through the themes of pine trees and ancient pines.
For many years, he has captured the dignity, vitality, and noble spirit of the scholar through ink and brush. In his works, the ancient pine becomes more than a natural landscape, symbolizing integrity, loyalty, longevity, devotion, and perseverance.

Rooted in the spirit of traditional Korean painting, his works also bring depth and refinement to contemporary spaces.
