Serry Park, a visual artist based in both New York (US) and Seoul (Korea), delves into the profound intricacies of internal landscapes, translating the psychological and emotional tapestries of the mind into visually arresting narratives. Imbued with a deep resonance drawn from her own lived experiences, Park's oeuvre centers around the exploration of vulnerable aspects of the human condition, with a poignant emphasis on themes such as mortality and the intimate echoes of personal loss. Her portfolio, which encompasses defenseless portraits, evocative landscapes, and intimate interior spaces, unfolds as a poignant exploration—a courageous endeavor to grapple with the elusive core of our being. While photography serves as Park's primary discipline, she expands her artistic horizons, engaging with a diverse array of media such as video, installation, and performance, often through collaborative ventures that enrich the expressive depth of her work.
Park's academic journey is marked by significant milestones, including the attainment of her MFA at Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY) in 2014 and Chungang University (Seoul, Korea) in 2010. She earned her BA in Religious Studies from Sogang University (Seoul, Korea), a foundation that adds a nuanced layer to her artistic exploration, infusing her visual narratives with a thoughtful and multidimensional perspective.

박세리는 한국 출신으로, 현재 미국 뉴욕에 거주하는 아티스트다. 사진을 위주로 한 그녀의 작업은 주로 개인의 내밀한 공간을 다루는데, 이는 그녀 자신의, 혹은 사진 속 대상의 심리적, 감정적 이미지를 드러낸다. 죽음을 숙명으로 안고 살아갈 수밖에 없는 인간의 나약함과 사랑하는 사람을 잃은 상실의 슬픔은 작업의 일관된 주제가 된다. 작가는 사진과 함께 비디오, 타임랩스, 설치 등의 여러 미디어를 함께 다루며 최근에는 행위예술가들과의 콜라보레이션을 통해 그 영역을 넓혀가고 있다. 박세리는 서강대학교에서 종교학과 컴퓨터학을 전공했고, 2010년 중앙대학교에서 사진 전공으로 석사학위를 받았으며, 2015년 미국 프랫 인스티튜트 (Pratt Institute)에서 순수미술로 석사학위를 받았다.
