Born in 1949 in Seoul, Korea, Sung Sam Parks 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 school student, Parks taught painting at the local high school. Early on, Parks attracted the attention of prominent artists and heads of state. Byun Si-Jin, former university president of Jo-Joo Island, was his private art teacher and mentor. The former president of South Korea, Yoon Bo-Sun, personally awarded Parks many first places in the national competitions of the Mok-Woo Art Society. Park is still the youngest person ever to have competed in these competitions. Park's singular style and glorious use of color has led the artist to many prominent appointments throughout Europe. While in Cyprus, the artist attracted the attention of the President and was commissioned to paint the First Lady's portrait. A painting completed in Greece of Michael Dukakis' birthplace was acquired by the former Governor of Massachusetts. Parks came to the United States in 1994, where he continues to live and work on the coast of Southern California. Pieces shown are serigraphs on paper. Enhanced serigraphs on canvas are also available. Please inquire concerning availability of original oil paintings.
