His paintings are not "about" something, they are something. They are color, paint texture and behavior, and the working out of visual tension set up between non-figurative forms. Nevertheless, because the painter's hand is directed by his mind and no one else's, these paintings necessarily give an indirect account of the person who made them and his feelings-feelings concerning visual realities as well as invisible forces that can be suggested by visual means. In the act of producing a canvas, Park brings a heightened sense of futurity to the creative process. He does not begin with a preconceived idea of what he is going to do; he approaches each new work in hope of a discovery, an insight or vision that is going to be revealed, not one that has already been revealed.
That avenues toward visual discovery set up by Youngha Pak are the central ones in painting and moving, fully embodied account of human solitude in the reflective context of Nature. These paintings are a record of discoveries.

The fascinating games with colors that the feelings play are in no way intrusive and they offer wide scope for mental scrutiny and individual interpretation. Here spontaneity is not a means of artistic aggression but rather the self-recognition of a painting philosopher. Impulsive in its technique and cumulative in its effect his art is a monumental yet very intimate fabric of anthropogenesis and human identity.
Despite, or precisely because of their coloration the pictures radiate an individual warmth. They are like a deeply sensual drug devoid of any striving for outward effect. Their very sentimentality makes them both stimulating and seductive !
Since the paintings do not readily yield their content on first sight there is plenty of room for individual interpretation. A philosophy of the depiction of man as part of the universe. Religiousness as a tool with the soul enveloping matter. Superficial naivete as a deliberate means of self-recognition, not a quick injection, but one geared to achieving a long-term effect. Man the drug, experienced individually, as the learnable fascination of art.

Koran Artist at Berlin "Art Express" (Review from 'Kunstblatt Berlin' Magazine)

He does not consider "Tradition' as the most important subject, but as a resourceful power for his creation. The 'Tradition' to him, means, "Earth', 'Life', "Men' ans also the body and the soul. To the artist, Young-ha Pak, all these mean "Art' from the beginning to the end, and also philosophy of his painting. 
An object painted endlessly thick on one side emerges, things are sometimes schematic, clear and vivid, order times they are very small, strong and rough and  the spectator can even feel like rediscovering the artist himself in his works.
His color shows the parallel of same family, or the contrast in the composition. Using these, exciting tension is expressed extemporarily and gives good effects. The objects are understood as unsolved mysterious figure on his canvas. In his findings of materials, the color of soil is generally emphasized and the secondary colors, yellow and red are the beginning of his emotional mix of colors. This warmth creates the atmosphere of the fore-mentioned "Tension' and the 'Resolution'. His coloring is traditional and belongs strongly to Korean Art, but his ideas have been developed individually. One can read from his paintings, the more he comprehend the Western tradition, the deeper his own radical spirit becomes.
