Park Saeng-kwang’s artistic quest consumed most of his life. He came into his prime in the five years before his death in 1985 at the age of 80.

Park produced between 1981 and 1985 are now considered an artistic embodiment of the quintessential spirit of Korean history and tradition.

He evoked Korea’s historical moments as well as shamanism, Buddhism, traditional Korean women and folk customs, by using Korean traditional hues: black, red, blue, white and yellow.
The dominant reception of his paintings could be epitomized by a simple phrase: ‘reincarnation of the Korean color tradition,’”

It is clear that the “aestheticizing of Korean culture” in his work begins in 1981 with solitary images of the Buddha, painted with traditional stone color pigments, or seokchae in Korean.
