Born in 1949, Sung Sam Park began painting at
the age of twelve. His talent and teaching
abilities were quickly recognized and by the
age of thirteen while still a junior high student,
Park taught at the local high school.
After graduating from Jung Ang University in
1973, Park traveled to France where he studied
painting and lived with other young artists in
Paris. His artistic style today clearly reflects the
inspiration of the French Impressionists.
Park spent time in Greece and on Cyprus. While
living on Cyprus, Park was commissioned by the
President of Cyprus to paint the First Lady’s
portrait. This and five other paintings by Park
are currently displayed in the collection in the
Presidential Palace.
In 1994, Park came to the US, where he lives on
the coast of Southern California. He continues to
exhibit in galleries throughout the United States.
