Chung Sanghwa was part of the Dansaekhwa movement in Korea. This group of artists had a deep connection to nature and drew inspiration from natural elements, incorporating organic forms, colors, and textures into their work. This reflects a broader cultural appreciation for the beauty and transience of the natural world. Chung has often mentioned the meditative aspects of his painting process, emphasizing how the act of creation serves as a form of introspection and mindfulness. He views painting as a meditative practice, akin to meditation itself. By focusing intently on each stroke and layer, he creates a space for contemplation. This focus helps him to clear his mind and connect with his inner thoughts and feelings. The work on view is unique in his practice where it features earthy brown, which is rarely found in his oeuvres.
