Solgo: an ancient Korean painter who is said to have painted trees that birds mistook for real ones.

Solgo is not interested in money or food. Nor is he interested in fame, prestige, or honor.

He only seeks to find the blue color of the morning.

An original text, full of evocative images, accompanied by Cynthia Orensztajn’s careful and subtle illustrations.

 

Literary quality and skillful use of metaphor as the main device to reinterpret, through this story, the artist’s authentic projection in society. Chakiñan Magazine
