Sung Kwan Ma

From once upon a time to happily ever after, the art of elegant story-telling is the divinity of Sung’s work.

Sung was born in Seoul, Korea and moved to the United States in the early 1990′s.
His extensive spiritual journeys in India and humanitarian activities throughout Asia over the past two decades have been the soul and defining framework of his work. He is finely attuned to the various cultural diversities of India and the Indian people. His images seek to capture the emotional depth of traditional sentiments and the joys of festivity.
