Kim Yun Shin, a 89-year-old artist, creates sculptures primarily from algarrobo wood, a departure from traditional Korean materials. Born in 1935 in North Korea, her childhood was defined by war, leading to an early artistic passion overshadowed by resource scarcity. She trained as an artist in Paris during the 1960s and moved to Argentina in 1984, seeking a more supportive environment for her work. This relocation allowed her to flourish creatively, contrasting sharply with her earlier challenges in Korea, where the art scene was limited and restrictions hampered women artists.
