Eun Nim Ro
Eun Nim Ro is a South Korean artist who has worked in Germany.
She moved to Germany as a nurse in 1970, where she had the opportunity to exhibit her first works and receive art education. Eun Nim Ro developed an intuitive style of painting that combined Korean brush and ink drawings with the expressiveness of Western art. Naively drawn signs of fish, birds, trees and human figures became the artist's symbols. Eun Nim Ro's creative work is not limited to painting, she has also worked in other disciplines such as performance, calligraphy, painting, ceramics or installation. She has designed the windows of St. Johannes Church in Altona, among others, as well as light walls for government buildings in Seoul.
In 1990, Eun Nim Ro took up a professorship at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. In 1995, the artist became an honorary citizen of Seoul, and in 2015 she was also awarded the title of professor in Korea.
