Heejo's profile
Heejo Kim (b. 1995, Seoul, South Korea) is a painter whose work explores identity, tenderness, and interconnectedness through ambiguity. By dissolving visible markers of gender, age, and ethnicity, her figures exist in a fluid state of becoming.

She was awarded the AHL–T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Award (2025) and was a 2025 Sondheim Art Prize Semifinalist.
