1. What's your story? Where are you from?Hello, I am a freelance illustrator working under the name of Atelier Arearea based in the Republic of Korea. I am very pleased to be here. Thank you. μλ νμΈμ! νκ΅μμ νλνκ³ μλ ν리λμ€ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν° μκ° βμν리μ μλ μλ μβ λΌκ³ ν©λλ€. λ§λ λ΅κ² λμ΄ λ°κ°μ΅λλ€.![]() 2. Tell us about your aesthetic.βLove by peopleβ, that is what I try to imply in my works. I try to paint that feeling of love, whether it is the love at present, or the love in the past, or even the love that has not yet come but yet you still dream of it. I love people and through my works, I would like to share the adorable feeling you get from other people when you are in love. You can just view my works in a warm, relaxing way. There is no big meaning behind them. If βloveβ comes to your mind after viewing my work, then that is the story I have hoped to share. μ¬λμ μ¬λμ κ·Έλ¦ΌμΌλ‘ λ΄κ³ μμ΄μ. κ·Έλ¦Όμ ν΅ν΄, κ·Έλ€μ μ§κΈμ λͺ¨μ΅μ΄κ±°λ νΉμ μμλ μ¬λμ λ§μ, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κΏκΎΈμλ μ¬λμ ννλ₯Ό κ·Έλ¦ΌμΌλ‘ κΈ°λ‘νκ³ , μμ§νλ μμ μ ν΄μ. μ λ μ¬λλ€μ μ’μνκ³ , μ¬λλ€μκ² λ°μ μ¬λμ€λ¬μμ κ·Έλ¦ΌμΌλ‘ κ·Έλ € λ λ§μ΄ λλκΈΈ μν΄μ. μ μμ λ€μ κ·Έμ νΈνκ³ μ νκ² λ°λΌλ³΄μλ©΄ λΌμ. κ·Έλ¦Όμ 보며 μ¬λμ λ μ¬λ € μ£Όμ λ€λ©΄ κ·Έκ² μ κ° κ°μ₯ λ§νκ³ μΆμ κ·Έλ¦Όμ μ΄μΌκΈ°μμ.3. What is your favorite medium and why?I like traditional mediums because I find them lyrical: how the texture of the paper and the pencil lines overlapping with paints move peopleβs feelings unintentionally. On the digital mediums, however, I like having the size freedom of the paper which allows me to work in a more detailed and diverse way. Watercolor and gouache are my favorites in traditional mediums and for the digital works, I usually use Photoshop and Paint. μμμ μ, μ’ μ΄μ μ§κ°, μ°ν μ κ³Ό κ²Ήμ³μ§λ λ¬Όκ°μ΄ κ³μ°νμ§ μλ κ°λμ μ£Όλ μμ μ μΈ μμ μ΄λΌ μ’μνκ³ λμ§νΈ νμΈν μ κ²½μ°λ, μ’ μ΄μ ν¬κΈ°λ‘λΆν° μμ λ‘μμ§ μ μμ΄ μ’ λ μΈλ°νκ³ νμ₯λ μμ μ ν μ μμ΄ μ’μν΄μ. μμμ μ ν λμλ μ£Όλ‘ μμ±νμ κ³Όμλ₯Ό μ¦κ²¨ μ¬μ©νκ³ , λμ§νΈ νμΈν μ ν¬ν μ΅κ³Ό νμΈνΈ νλ‘κ·Έλ¨μ μ¦κ²¨ μ¬μ©νκ³ μμ΅λλ€.4. What is your artistic process like?I start by picking a sentence out either from the conversations I had with other people or from a story I come across. After that, I imagine the scene for the sentence and do research for an attractive composition, and after I have set the composition, I start sketching then I move on to coloring. I find a composition to be the most important part of the process, hence I spend the most time on it. μ¬λλ€κ³Ό λλ λνλ€ νΉμ κΈ μμ μ΄μΌκΈ°λ€ μμμ κ·Έλ €λκ° ν μ€μ λ¬Έμ₯μ λ μ¬λ¦¬λ©° μμ μ μμν΄μ. λ¬Έμ₯μ ννν κ·Έλ¦Ό μ μ΄μΌκΈ°, μ₯λ©΄μ μμνκ³ λ§€λ ₯μ μΌλ‘ 보μ΄κΈ° μν ꡬλμ λν μλ£λ€μ μμ§νκ³ κ΅¬λκ° κ²°μ μ΄ λλ©΄ λ°κ·Έλ¦Όκ³Ό μ±μμ ν΄μ. μ λ μμ κ³Όμ μ€μ βꡬλβμ λν κ³ λ―Όμ κ°μ₯ λ§μ΄ νκ³ μ€μνκ² μκ°ν©λλ€.5. Who and/or what inspires your work?βConversations with the people I love.β Feelings I get from talking to other people, books, photographs, short sentences in social media, movies, and sceneries, they all get combined with my imagination and inspire me every now and then. As I listen to their stories, I get to see a different perspective on love and various forms of love, which is always my good source of work inspiration. βμ¬λνλ μ¬λλ€κ³Όμ λν.β λνλ₯Ό λλλ©° μ€κ³ κ°λ κ°μ λ€μ΄, μ± , μ¬μ§, SNSμ 짧μ λ¬Έμ₯, μν κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ νκ²½κ³Ό μμλ ₯μ λν΄μ Έ μκ°μ λ°κ³€ ν΄μ. κ·Έλ€μ μ΄μΌκΈ°λ₯Ό λ£λ€ 보면 μ¬λμ μ¬λ¬ λͺ¨μ΅μ κ΄ν μλ‘μ΄ μμ κ³Ό κΉ¨λ¬μμ μ»μ μ μμ΄ λ μμ μ κ·κ°μ΄ λμ΄μ.6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?Art is what made me a better person. It heals me when drawing a sorrowful memory. It allows a lovely memory to linger in me. It forgives my somewhat foolish acts in the past. It can also be filled up with my dreams. Art makes me a kind, thoughtful person. κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그리λ μΌμ, λΆμ‘±ν λλ₯Ό μ±μ₯μν€κ³ μ±μνκ² λ§λ€μ΄μ. μν λ μκ°μ 그리며 μΉμ λ₯Ό, μ¬λνλ μκ°λ€μ 그리며 μ¬μ΄μ, λͺ»λ¬λ λμ κ³Όκ±°λ₯Ό μ©μλ°μΌλ©°, κΏμΌλ‘ μ±μΈ μλ μκ² λ§λ€μ΄μ. κ·Έλ¦Όμ μ λ₯Ό μ¬λ € κΉκ³ μλ₯ν μ¬λμΌλ‘ λ§λ€μ΄ μ£Όκ³ μμ΄μ.![]() 7.

Where do you see yourself in five years?In five years, I hope to become the artist who paints in a balanced way. I hope to have developed my own stable style that people can recognize my work just by looking at it. I would also like to have the freedom of not worrying about living expenses. I hope to have nicely solved these two problems so that I have the privilege of working on my work continuously. 5λ λ€μλ κ· νκ° μκ² κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ €λκ°λ μκ°κ° λμμΌλ©΄ μ’κ² μ΄μ. κ·Έλ¦Όλ§ λ³΄μλ μλ μλ μμ κ·Έλ¦Όμ΄λ€! νκ³ μ μ μλ μ€νμΌμ μμ κ°κ³Ό, κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그릴 λμ λΉλ²ν κ³ λ―Όνκ² λ§λλ κ·Έλ¦Όμ μν μνλΉμ μμ κ°. μ΄ μ»€λ€λ λ κ°μ§μ μμ λ₯Ό μ νμ΄λκ°μ κ·Έλμλ μ¦κ²κ² κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μμμΌλ©΄ μ’κ² μ΄μ.9. What about in ten?In 10 years from now, I would like to have a space where I can share my works closely with people. I have endless ideas on this but first, I hope to accomplish your previous question, βWhere do you see yourself in five years?β so that I can dream bigger. 10λ λ€μλ, κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ°κΉκ² λλ μ μλ 곡κ°μ κ°κ³ μΆμ΄μ. κ·Έλ¬ν μμ΄λμ΄λ 무κΆλ¬΄μ§νλ°, νμ¬λ μμ μ§λ¬ΈμΈ 5λ λ€μ λ΄κ° μ μ±μ₯ν΄μ 10λ λ€μ κΏμ λ ν¬κ² ν€μλκ° μ μκΈΈ λ°λμ.10.

Favourite genre of music?I love fork music. Especially a Korean singer named Kim Kwang-seok (κΉκ΄μ in Korean) and Jaejooboys (μ¬μ£Όμλ in Korean) are my favorites. The way they sing as if reading a poet and the sound of the classical guitar with it is it. ν¬ν¬. νΉλ³ν ν΅κΈ°ν μ리μ μμ‘°λ¦¬λ― λ Έλνλ κΉκ΄μκ³Ό μ¬μ£Όμλ μ μμ μ κ·Έκ².14.

If you weren't an artist, what would you be?Actually, I had a different life prior to being an illustrator. I had worked as a fashion designer for a long time and because of that I think, if I werenβt an artist, I would have continued that job. However, I chose art and I would choose art again if I were at the same crossroads. μ€μ λ‘ κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그리기 μ΄μ μ μΆμ΄ μμμ΄μ. μ΄μ μλ ν¨μ λμμ΄λ μΌμ μ€λκ° ν΄μκΈ°μ, κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ¦¬μ§ μμλ€λ©΄ ν¨μ νμ¬μμ λμμ΄λ μΌμ κ³μ νμ κ±°λΌ μκ°ν΄μ. κ°λ¦ΌκΈΈμ μ νμ κ²°κ΅ λ€μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ΄κ² μ§λ§μ.![]() ![]() Comments are closed.
