Jisoo Ahn is a multidisciplinary artist, who lives and works in Paris. As a physical being with a spiritual soul, a human being has an innate aspiration toward eternal freedom. Asking questions such as Who are we? Where are we from? Where are we going?, she focuses on the relationship between time and being. All living beings undergo metamorphosis over time, from creation to disappearance. In this sense, man is a Time-Being. She presents the metamorphosis of beings in time in her works.
After her pilgrimage from Saint-Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela, she made a sculpture titled, Autoportrait: foot of the past and foot of the future (2016), as well as a series of monotypes titled, Ascension (2016). Recently, her works were exhibited at the Arsenal in Venice (2023), at the Palace Pàlffy in Vienna (2022), at the Misericordia Archives Cannaregio in Venice (2021-2022), Castello Angioino-Aragonese in Aragonese di Agropoli in Italy (2019). She is expecting other expositions at London Art Biennale.
