Bac Jungwon has drawn compositional paintings that express the invisible emotions and minds of humans through various scenes encountered in daily life. After receiving a bachelor's and master's degree in Fine Arts from Kookmin University, she painted unusual, dreamlike, and dramatic situations, but in her mid-30s, she began to paint natural objects and everyday landscapes. Her paintings reveal the fragile psychology and feelings of contemporary people, which are concealed beneath the solid shell of civilization. The artist portrays difficult-to-express psychological levels through a variety of painting mediums, including sketching, watercolor, and oil painting. It defines creation as the discovery of remarkable moments in the repetition of her previous everyday existence and the transformation of the meaning into a material known as painting and reconstructs a daily life from her own unique perspective.

Bac Jungwon is an artist who specializes in figurative paintings that capture the inner emotions and psychology of humans through various scenes from everyday life. 'Girl from Seoul' is an ongoing project since 2017, inspired by photos of female fitting advertising models and influencers in their 20s that the artist encountered on social media. Throughout her works, the viewer can discern the artist's perspective on young women living in the city. Park paints the vacant expressions of these women, who live amidst the rapidly changing heart of Seoul, constantly feeling tense and anxious in their pursuit of contemporary trends, thereby highlighting the issues of modern society. The delicate watercolor layering technique she uses to depict skin conveys the fragile psyche and emotions of modern individuals, seemingly on the verge of breaking.
