Sesame

Sesame is a multidisciplinary artist whose evocative works span painting, installation, and digital media, marked by a distinct interplay between immediacy and introspection. Born in 1992 and currently based between Seoul and Berlin, Sesame’s creative journey began in street art, which infuses their studio practice with an ever-present sense of movement and urban rhythm. Drawing inspiration from the fragmented visuals of daily life, dream symbolism, and patterns found in nature, Sesame’s art navigates themes of memory, alienation, and interconnectedness.

Their signature palette—a blend of muted earth tones enlivened by bold, luminous accents—serves as a visual language that bridges the organic with the digital, the abstract with the representational. Over the past decade, Sesame’s work has been exhibited across Asia, Europe, and North America in both solo and group exhibitions, garnering critical attention for its sensitive exploration of identity and collective experience. Through community workshops and collaborative projects, Sesame remains committed to expanding access to the arts, empowering underrepresented voices, and fostering dialogue around the evolving role of creativity in contemporary society.
