Painter Platon Kim’s passion for works originates from his work activties

for about 60 years. Without quoting words of high praiseof an art critic

from the New York Times that Kim is a genius portrait painter, his works

 are a product of soul and passion and his own style of expression serves

as a momentum for marking a milestone in the world of art. He has drawn

 portraits of the U.S. Presidents all his life and such works of his deserves

 respect.
