DISTINCT ARTISTRY

Byun's artistic genius lies in his ability to transform serious environmental commentary into captivating sculptural narratives. His iconic use of polar bears and ice cream serves as a sophisticated metaphor for the fragility of our environment and the impact of commercialization. Each piece is carefully crafted to create a dialogue between innocence and awareness, combining playful elements with profound environmental messages. The juxtaposition of these elements results in works that are both visually engaging and intellectually stimulating.

From Our Founder’s Desk

"In bringing Daeyong Byun's extraordinary works to India, we at Maison Sia recognized a unique opportunity to introduce art that speaks to universal concerns while maintaining a sense of wonder and delight.The whimsical yet profound nature of his sculptures creates an immediate emotional connection, while their underlying message about environmental preservation aligns perfectly with our country's traditional respect for nature. We believe Byun's work will not only enhance the aesthetic sensibilities of Indian art collectors but also contribute to important conversations about sustainability and conservation in our society. "
