    I’ve been staring into it for a few minutes now and its fkn beautiful. Just perfect. Such an organic mix of order and chaos and that’s just the paint. You got a lot of feeling into this Yoon tour de force.

    wow again mimi….you know how much i love your art work, and I love this too.
    ..that look in her eye…she sees right through my soul.
    i like the muted colours, to me, it gives off a cool dark mood…she’s a lady on a mission.

  • mimi yoon replied

    thanks jared… dark mood is what i intended to create… and her stare was meant to pierce through the viewers, but i’m not sure if i have accomplished that… do you think she owns the canvas? :P

  • Derek Stewart

    Stunning- I love how these beautiful portraits have evolved from your mind with no reference, they certainly have bags of style and soulful personality.
    Just looking at Neils comments, I cant believe you haven’t sold your original- I think a set in this style would look awesome framed in a chic gallery, you simply must give that a try and take advice on pricing too xxxxxxxxxx Keep em coming Mimi, you rock !!
