Dain Yoon’s a Handful of Talent

Artist Dain Yoon’s artwork is a hand-filled spectacle! Her body seems to sprout identical hands from her back, arms, and hands themselves, creating a striking optical illusion. These illusions cleverly distort reality, making you second-guess what you’re seeing.

Yoon, who studied scenography and theatrical makeup before dedicating herself to these personal artworks, paints these intricate designs directly onto her skin. The process is meticulous and can take up to a full day! Educated at Korea’s top art schools, she initially painted on models but later chose her own body as the canvas to convey deeper emotional resonance. This choice makes each piece profoundly personal and visually fascinating.
