Early life

Park was born in South Korea in 1965. He graduated from the Department of Fine Arts of the Kyung Hee University is Seoul, and later obtained a degree from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara.[1] Since 1993 he has been living and working in Pietrasanta, Italy. Park uses marble from Carrara, about 20 km from Pietrasanta, for much of his work. His pieces often feature two different colors of marble with prominent cracks, and are usually abstract. The first exhibition that attracted the public's attention was "Mostra di scutura in omaggio a SEM" in 1997. It was held in Pietrasanta and he was invited to the group exhibition. He has had a number of solo and group exhibitions in Europe including in Italy, Germany and France (Musée Bernard Boesch) etc.
