We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Daniel Kim for being named a finalist in the prestigious 2023 Archibald Prize! His captivating self-portrait is a testament to his dedication and passion for art, as well as a touching tribute to his mentor and friend, Greg Warburton.
Greg Warburton, a respected artist known for his work with adults with disability, had a profound impact on Daniel's artistic journey. They met at Studio A in Sydney, where Greg's mentorship helped Daniel explore his creative depths.
Tragically, Greg passed away in 2022, leaving a void in Daniel's life. To honour his mentor, Daniel painted a self-portrait holding a photo album filled with cherished memories of their time together. The painting beautifully captures the essence of their friendship and the artistic growth Daniel experienced under Greg's guidance.
The self-portrait is a poignant symbol of the power of mentorship and the enduring legacy of friendship. It has touched the hearts of many, and Daniel's story was featured in The Sydney Morning Herald.
