Song’s painting combines formal precision with conceptual depth and raises
essential questions about the role of the artist and the significance of painting today. Merging surrealist elements with a sensitive approach to composition, the artist creates visual spaces shifting between reality and imagination. Her works often reflect their own process of creation, highlighting doubt, decision-making, and revision. The surreal functions as a space for thought in which visible and invisible, personal and collective, merge.
