A common theme in her work is her photo-realistic recreations of her eyes, eyebrows or mouth on the back of her hands. She also states in her Instagram posts that her artwork is not manipulated in Photoshop.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Dain Yoon revealed that she also began painting on other people for their “multidimensional characteristics.”
“This is why I started drawing on the several parts of my body such as my hand and face. It looks like one face at first but it is overlapped in real,” Yoon said.
“The interesting point of my artwork is that people can find something new and tricky when they look into my artwork over and over. So this is the reason why I called my art as illusion art.”
