Matt Hassan Art

Hi! I’m Matt Hassan, born 최경수.

In the spring of 2025, I returned to Korea for the first time since being adopted. The experience built a foundation for my Korean identity, not only as an adoptee but also as an artist. Previously, I’ve drawn characters, made films, and built miniatures. Often, I wasn’t expressing meaningful feelings or experiences of my own so much as making things that I thought looked good.

In Korea, I experienced amazing people, places, and of course, food. I also brought back traditional Korean art supplies. Since getting back, I’ve used them to process my feelings and capture memories from the trip, one ink painting at a time. I’ve found how healing it can be to have a meaningful place captured in a painting.

And so I’m currently available for commissions of your meaningful places, from both Korea and abroad. If you have a memory from a childhood home, vacation destination, or any other special memory, feel free to email me at matthassanart@gmail.com to start your order. Meanwhile, you can follow and purchase my latest artwork online:
