Seo Yu-jeong, a renowned artist representing South Korea, has been awarded the Art Award in the Cultural and Arts category at the 2024 Korea Hwanghae National Awards, drawing significant attention from the domestic and international art community. Known for her unique Qi Art, Seo’s works are celebrated for their ability to convey powerful energy and a message of health and happiness, offering more than just artistic value they deliver a profound sense of positivity to viewers.
Qi Art Shining on the Global Stage
Over the past few years, Seo Yu-jeong has actively exhibited her works both domestically and internationally, elevating the status of Qi Art on a global scale. Following successful exhibitions in the Czech Republic and Romania last year, she showcased her works in Vermont, USA, earlier this year. Through these efforts, she has left a deep impression on art enthusiasts worldwide. Seo expressed her joy, saying, “What makes me happiest is being able to communicate with people from different countries. I look forward to continuing to share Qi Art through international exhibitions.”
Artistic Value and Popularity of Qi Art
Qi Art, a contemporary evolution of traditional energy painting, has gained increasing recognition, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Seo Yu-jeong’s works, created with fine pens or markers, often depict abstract forms such as light, radiating circles, and spirals, delivering messages of peace and love to their audience. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, Qi Art pieces are highly regarded for their ability to bring emotional and physical healing to viewers.
Seo explained, “Qi Art incorporates the energy of the universe, conveying love and peace. The reason I create Black Hole artworks is because they symbolize a rebirth through the emergence of a White Hole, representing a new beginning. It also signifies the renewal of life at the cellular level. Every point in my paintings represents the idea that the universe, nature, and humanity are all interconnected.”
Art, Communication, and Gratitude
Seo Yu-jeong’s artistic vision goes beyond visual beauty. Through Qi Art, she strives to convey the interconnectedness of humanity, nature, and the universe. “Creating these works brings me peace and happiness. My deepest wish is for my paintings to bring happiness to others,” she shared, emphasizing the heartfelt sincerity behind her art.

Winning the Hwanghae National Award highlights Seo Yu-jeong’s significant role in both the domestic and global art scenes. Her Qi Art goes beyond traditional artistic expressions, offering a message of healing and positive energy, making her work deeply loved by audiences worldwide. The future is bright for Seo Yu-jeong as she continues her artistic journey, spreading the unique power of Qi Art to more audiences around the globe.
