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 watercolor seascapes and oil portraits 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. Han is the owner of the Han's Gallery. He actively paints
everyday and likes to interact with public. You can meet him at Waikiki Zoo fence on Sundays. He sold over 200 original watercolor paintings since July, 2009. His granddaughter entered Yale this year
and is studying arts history and law..
