Born in 1982, Busan, South Korea.

Miju Lee is a South Korean artist who explores human emotion and memory through intimate, dreamlike painting. Her canvases are composed as interior landscapes—spaces where objects, creatures, and sensations blur into one another in flattened perspective and soft chromatic fields. Drawing from both lived experience and imagination, her practice bridges East Asian visual languages with Western abstraction.

She has held solo exhibitions at Seojung Art (Seoul), Shinsegae Gallery (Busan), BACK_Y (Taipei), and APOproject (Seoul), and participated in institutional group exhibitions at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Gwacheon), the Busan Museum of Art, and the Pohang Museum of Steel Art, among others.

Lee’s practice often reflects her experience of introspection, solitude, and emotional connection. Her recurring figure—the Yeti—functions as a muse, guardian, and self-portrait, symbolizing a fragile presence navigating between the visible and the invisible.
