Theology of Contemporary Art

Description

I was a student, thinking about a subject for my thesis in theology, when I learned about Kim En Joong. I was interested in studying the relationship that exists between art and theology when Fr Juan Manuel Almarza OP, who at the time was my studies advisor and a great admirer of Pe Kim, insisted that this name could not be omitted from my study.

So I discovered this artist via an Internet page, and I became totally fascinated by his work from the very moment his first painting appeared before my eyes on the computer screen.

Since that day, a lot of time has gone by, years during which I have explored the captivating universe of Pe Kim’s artistic productions, following him in a near-obsessive way, delving deep into his work and getting to the bottom of his message with great excitement.
