The most powerful inspiration to his beautiful watercolor paintings are the true love of his wife and a strong belief in God. In pursuit of real beauty, Han tries to transfer various subjects to his canvas from both an active and inactive world to the imaginative and real world. Han says, "The infitie wolrd of painting reflects God's gift of real beauty." Ironically, Han was born in Osaka, Japan in 1938 at a time of chaos and prelude to Wolrd War II, however, his paintings reflect only the beauty in this wolrd. He feels the energy one receives from real beauty is transferred to all areas of one's life. Gifted and talented in paintings and craft, he won prizes from numerous student contests, and remarkably, won the first prize in the first Korean national painting contest with a broken brush he picked up from the ground. Following a move to the United States, he studied fine arts at the Minneapolis Art Institute, and latter graphic design at the Denver Business college in order to complete his childhood dream of becoming an artist who can create real beauty. He graduated with top honors. Han appreciates Hawaii more than anywhre else in this wolrd for giving him the chance of lifetime. Han's excitement and appreciation of God's gift of beauty guide his hand as he touches each canvas with his brush.
