liMKil 은 프랑스 파리를 기반으로 활동하는 회화 작가이다. 사실적 관찰을 바탕으로 현대적 상징성을 결합한 작업을 선보이며, 빛을 중심으로 형태와 공간, 색의 관계를 탐구해왔다. 유화의 밀도와 투명성을 활용해 화면에 시간성과 깊이를 축적하며, 빛이 만들어내는 감각적 울림과 존재의 층위를 회화적으로 구현한다. 주요 모티프인 ‘나비’는 변모와 갱신, 새로운 존재로의 이행을 상징하며, 인간 내면의 가능성과 창조의 질서를 은유적으로 드러낸다.
현재 프랑스 파리의 Galerie Art Club과 옹플뢰르(Honfleur)의 Galerie OBENICH 전속 작가로 활동하고 있다.

F, liMKil is a Paris-based painter whose work combines meticulous observation with contemporary symbolic sensibilities. His practice centers on light as a primary element, exploring the relationships between form, space, and color. Using the density and transparency of oil paint, he builds layers that convey both temporal and spatial depth, creating a sensory resonance and a nuanced sense of presence on the canvas. The butterfly, a recurring motif in his work, symbolizes transformation, renewal, and the passage into new states of being, reflecting human potential and the subtle order of creation.
He is currently represented by Galerie Art Club in Paris and Galerie OBENICH in Honfleur, France.
