"I strive to create warm, relatable stories that are easily understandable to anyone. It would bring me great joy if my artwork could provide healing to someone."
그림 그리기를 좋아하다보니 꾸준히 그림을 그려왔어요. 2022년 12월 첫 그룹전시를 시작으로 한국, 영국, 미국, 일본 등 세계 여러 곳에서 전시 활동을 하고 있습니다. 지금 의 제 모습을 만들어 준 저만의 달력 만들기 프로젝트는 2014년 이후부터 현재까지 진행중입니다.
Although I majored in life sciences, my internships at Yahoo and SK Telecom, a South Korean telecommunications company, steered me toward a career in product management and business development within the app/web sector at a Korean IT company. My job required me to communicate with professionals from various fields, including designers. To enhance my interactions with designers, I learned to use Adobe Illustrator, where I began creating digital art.
Utilizing functions such as line drawing, shape forming, and color filling, I designed my own character, “Cabbit,” initially for PC wallpapers. This marked the beginning of my digital art activities.
Over time, viewing all objects as collections of shapes enabled me to draw diverse themes using just a mouse. After 2022, I started drawing with Wacom tablet and ipad. I have compiled my annual drawings into calendars, including the most recent one for 2025, which is the eleventh calendar I’ve designed.
Recently, I have started a new initiative where I physically paint the digital drawings of animals that I had previously worked on. I plan to continue exploring the exciting connections between digital and physical mediums.
