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.
