MINHWA – The soul and colours of Korea

From 3 to 8 November 2026, the Galería Nueva Atocha in Madrid presents MINHWA – The Soul and Colours of Korea, a group exhibition dedicated to minhwa, traditional Korean folk painting. Organised by the MUKYEON Association of Traditional Korean Art, the exhibition brings together 83 Korean artists and offers an opportunity to discover the richness of the colours, forms and symbols of this artistic tradition. Minhwa is a form of painting that expresses universal aspirations such as happiness, prosperity, health and longevity. Tigers, flowers, birds and natural landscapes feature in the works as symbols of these aspirations and of the relationship between people and nature. The exhibition presents both works that preserve traditional techniques and motifs and contemporary interpretations, demonstrating how minhwa remains a living and constantly evolving art form. The exhibition is divided into two parts, featuring different works and artists: Part I: 3–5 November 2026. Part II: 6–8 November 2026. Opening: Tuesday 3 November, at 7.00 pm. Several Korean artists are expected to visit during the exhibition, offering an opportunity to learn more about their works and their inspiration. Opening hours: 3–7 November: 11.00 am to 2.00 pm and 4.30 pm to 7.30 pm. 8 November: 11.00 am to 2.00 pm. Venue: Galería Nueva Atocha, Calle Valencia 17, Madrid. A special occasion to explore traditional Korean art, discover its visual language and enjoy an exhibition that bridges tradition with contemporary creativity.
