Collection: Haejin Yoo

Haejin Yoo is a self-taught oil and acrylic artist, born in Seoul, South Korea, and raised in Australia, whose surrealistic expressionist art evokes emotions from the past and present. She integrates mixed media, including oils, acrylics, textiles, carpentry, and spray paint, to push beyond the limits of traditional canvas art and bring depth to her works.

As an artist on the autism spectrum, Haejin’s unique perspective allows her to explore themes of identity, emotion, and introspection—concepts at the heart of her Woman in the Bath series. This body of work reflects on the vulnerability of private thoughts and the fluid nature of persona, offering intimate moments of self-reflection and connection. Her autism not only shapes her creative process but also informs the deeply personal and universal qualities in her work.

Haejin discovered her passion for art at a young age, but it was suppressed until her late twenties when she transitioned from a career in the sciences. The analytical skills she developed in her scientific background now enrich her understanding of artistic mediums, including oils and acrylics. After nearly eight years in Germany, where she exhibited extensively across Europe, Haejin has returned to Sydney, Australia.
