Jiôn Kiim | 김 지 영 (Busan, Korea, 1982) lives and works in Porto since 2017.
Her practice is transdisciplinary and encompasses various media, with drawing at its core, as well as painting, photography and installations. The works of Jiôn Kiim appear to inhabit the interstice between language and the ineffable that defines the space of the artistic gesture and its form. Her work is often based on her surroundings, oscillating between chance and necessity, or ambiguity and clarity, to create forms and gestures that reflect contemporary times.

Her work is represented in Porto Municipality's Art Collection and has appeared in venues and publications such as Casa da Cerca | Galeria Municipal de Almada, On The Surface: photography conference | MAAT (Lisbon), Galeria Municipal do Porto, Museu do Porto | Casa Museu Marta Ortigão Sampaio, O Instituto, Clube Desenho, Revista Dose #6,scopio editions, Ci.CLO Biennial 19, Galeria aSede, Galeria Dentro and Palacete Pinto Leite(Porto), Alfaia (Loulé), Memory Center (Vila do Conde), Salon Sophie Charlotte | Berlin-Brandenburg Academy (Berlin), Gnration (Braga), ZAWP (Bilbao), Living Art Museum (Reykjavik), Art Space O (Seoul), Motorenhalle, Ex14 and Oktogon (Dresden), among others. Recently she has been selected as an artist-in-residence for, among others, Hangar in Lisbon, funded by DG Artes, and for Westwerk Artists ́Centre, with a grant from the Ministry of Culture and Media in Hamburg. She has been a studio member of the Clube de Desenho in Porto since 2022.
