As rice is for our body, art is for our pure soul. Art on this earth is the God¡¯s glorious favor and our living in that favor is a beautiful blessing. Furthermore, living a life as an artist is even happier and luckier.
It was the beginning of our precious encounter when he had provided his paintings in my book, Love as if This Is the Last Moment. Although I had never seen or heard of him, his paintings gave me warm impressions. It was like the feeling of drinking some hot coffee on a cold winter morning, which makes our frozen hearts warm. After a while, I came to know that he was unable to move his body.

One day in December, 2006, I got a phone call from him asking me to see him, which I accepted with all my heart. I was happy to see him and found out that he was such a bright person without a hint of either agony or sorrow. I thought it was because of his having overcome, by means of devoting himself to painting, all the insurmountable trials that were finally transformed into the noble artistic spirit. Such mild and bright facial expressions are just permitted only to those who have overcome their harsh destiny. Then, I believed that he would be able to paint good pictures. It is because that only those who have survived all the troubles and trials in life can paint good pictures. While alive, Vincent Van Gogh was poverty-stricken in his absolute solitude without any fame. However, his art is highly evaluated nowadays.

Poverty and solitude are the unbearable agony to human beings, yet, they are creative energy to artists. He is aware of this well, too. Therefore, he makes his utmost efforts enduring all his troubles to engage himself in completing every stoke he makes as if he embroiders some cloth. His paintings are drawn not by hand but by soul. The living passion deep inside him revives as a spiritual torch becoming a painting.

The exhibition, Paintings in Music, is a collection of his spiritual selves. It is full of life, love and bliss - the most precious and fruitful. Everyone will be invited to share the good time of excitement and happiness away from his or her busy routine for a while. Also, I do hope that we can encourage this artist, Young Joon Tak, with love in order for him to make a splendid progress in his artistic world.
