Biography
Bejčková was born Li Ki Sun (Korean: 이기순) in 1931 in Kaesong, Korea (present-day North Korea) during Japanese rule.[1] Seriously injured during the Korean War, Bejčková later joined the Korean People's Army[a] as a medical student in 1950.[1][2]
During the time period of 1952 to 1956, Bejčková studied at Central Academy of Fine Arts in Peking where she met her future husband Jaroslav Bejček, a Czech visual artist.[1][3] Following their marriage in 1957, she and Bejček initially settled in Louka u Litvínova and Most before living in Ústí nad Labem from 1960 onwards.[3]
Primarily creating tapestries and art protis, Bejčková's work combines traditional Korean art and modern art elements.[1][2] Bejčková often collaborated and exhibited with her husband.[1][4] In 2012, a book on the duo's respective bodies of work was published in the Czech Republic.[5]
Personal life
In 1957, Bejčková married Jaroslav Bejček with whom she had two children.[1][3] In her later life, Bejčková lived in Switzerland and South Korea, before settling in Písek, Czech Republic.[1] In 1999, Bejčková died in Písek.[1]
