Seyoun Thee Artist
My healing journey helped create the foundation for my creativity. I am an explorer by heart and a healer in spirit. My style was influenced by my connections with the essence of how life imitates art.
​
My subconscious began to search for a deeper meaning in my artistry. My artwork is inspired by my subconscious and pushing beyond my own limitations of how I perceive the world. I convey my message through surrealism and symbolism.
Symbolism helps me convey my message in a subtle yet bold way.
While surrealism helps me break any boundary that either exists now or will become relevant in the future. It's always the little things I capture in the moment in time that helps emphasize my message.
​
I do not always understand why I experience certain moments in life, but I know I must persist towards greatness. My art is a reflection of who I was and who I am becoming.
The Death, Rebirth, & the In-Between Series
This story reflects how the end is the beginning, and the beginning is the end. It is a reminder that when we focus too much on the past or the future, we miss the beauty of the in-between—the now. Each phase presents a unique opportunity for those experiencing it to gain insight into their authentic selves. The death phase is something to celebrate, as it ushers in new beginnings. However, if we fall victim to our illusions, we can become stuck in the past, lost in thoughts of what could have been.
The future, on the other hand, has yet to arrive—or may never arrive. While it's inspiring to remain hopeful and open to possibilities, becoming overly dependent on the future can lead to emotional stress and discontent.
Lastly, the in-between is the now; it is us. The present is to be admired, appreciated, and fully felt. It is the journey within—a space where we uncover the true essence of who we are.

The Metamorphosis of Self: 6 Stages of Grief
When we think of grief, we often imagine the pain of losing a loved one. But what if we viewed grief through a different lens?
The death of the self is a form of grief—profound and challenging, yet necessary. Transforming into our authentic selves is much like a caterpillar evolving into a butterfly. Each phase captures the essence of growing beautifully, both inside and out.
Grieving the self means moving through the journey of transformation, reflecting on the version of you that must let go. This process makes space for the new version of yourself to thrive and experience life with fresh wings, ready to embrace the world.
Life and Death Exhibition
July-September 2024
Diffa Dallas Art Exhibition
In May of 2023, I participated as a body painting artist at the DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) Dallas event, where I was tasked with painting the likeness of the famous painter Basquiat on a model. This nonprofit organization raises funds to support AIDS awareness and research, and I was honored to contribute my skills to this worthwhile cause. Through this experience, I honed my skills in body painting and gained valuable experience working in a high-pressure, public-facing environment. This opportunity allowed me to showcase my creativity and ability to bring concepts to life through the human form, and I am proud to have contributed to the success of the event.
Logans Mural Project
In June- July of 2022, I partnered with professional artist Curtis Derall Ferguson, and together, we successfully completed 11 vibrant murals within a 30-day timeframe. We worked tirelessly under the sun, painting on corrugated metal surfaces. The total size of our artistic endeavor ranged from 20 feet in height to 160 feet in length, divided into 11 meticulously crafted sections. Additionally, my individual project involved creating graffiti-style design for all of the schools within or around Duncanville.
