"Lim’s paintings exist in the quiet threshold between abstraction and nature — between what is seen and what is felt. Her work is best described as ethereal semi-abstract expressionism, a visual language where movement, emotion, and natural form merge into a meditative rhythm. Each piece unfolds like a living atmosphere — a field of energy, color, and gesture that evokes the sensation of wind, water, memory, or time itself.

Her paintings do not depict the external world literally, but rather the unseen architecture that shapes it — the rhythm of light filtering through leaves, the pulse of ocean currents, or the trace of emotion that lingers after a moment has passed. Lim’s signature sweeping brushstrokes, layered transparencies, and muted luminous hues invite the viewer to slow down, to breathe, and to feel.

Her process is both intuitive and highly refined: she begins without rigid sketches, allowing gestures to emerge organically, guided by sensation and internal rhythm. Then, with precision and restraint, she edits, layers, and refines — integrating subtle details such as metallic leafing, translucent glazes, or dry-brushed textures that catch light and change throughout the day. This dynamic interplay between flow and stillness, chaos and harmony, becomes the essence of her aesthetic."
