About Hyon Kwon

Artist Statement

My dream in high school was becoming a photographer, but life had a different path waiting for me.  I jumped into the business world right after college and never looked back.  My main things in life were to provide for my family.  After 30 years of non-stop working, I am starting to look back into my life.  I gave up being me, but now I want to find myself.  I am now half a century old and yearning for the past time, which I can’t not get back.

I am now back on track with my original dream of becoming a photographer.  I know I have less time in front of me than I lived, but I am taking time thinking about what is important for me.  What I value now are my family, my religion, and time.

I like to play with time in my work using different methods.  I was also very sick before and now know the real definition of pain.  The pain shows in my work both physically and mentally when promises and trusts are broken.

Now I am trying to fulfill my dream, and you are invited in my world.

Bio

I am a fine art photographer living in Suwanee, Georgia with my wife and one beautiful daughter.  My father gave me my first camera when I was in elementary school and loved it ever since.  I was inducted into the National Art Honor Society thanks to my photo skills and worked for my school newspapers during high school and college.  I continued photography by doing freelance sports and volunteering for different non-profit groups.  I am now back on track pursuing my lifelong dream of becoming a fine art photographer.
