Instagram: @by_mmmin 1. What's your story? Where are you from?Hello. My name is Minji Kim, an illustrator in Korea. After graduating from university, I started my career as a freelance illustrator. I have been working in various fields such as publishing, package illustration, etc. for 10 years. I mainly paint what I think and feel in my daily life. μλ νμΈμ. μ λ νκ΅μμ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°λ‘ νλνκ³ μλ κΉλ―Όμ§μ λλ€. λνκ΅λ₯Ό μ‘Έμ νκ³ λμ ν리λμ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°λ‘ νλνκΈ° μμνμ΅λλ€. μ λ μΆν, ν¨ν€μ§ μΌλ¬μ€νΈ λ± μ¬λ¬ λΆμΌμμ νλνμ§ 10λ μ λ λμμ΅λλ€. μ£Όλ‘ μΌμμμ μκ°νκ³ λλ κ²μ μνμΌλ‘ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μμ΅λλ€. 2. Tell us about your aesthetic.As I said, my works are related to my daily life and experience. Ordinary memories, emotions and thoughts inspire me and the things I see, hear and feel become an idea. Therefore, my work reveals what I want to express and what I like. μμ λ§νλ― μ μνμ μ μΌμκ³Ό κ²½νκ³Ό κ΄λ ¨μ΄ μμ΅λλ€. μΌμμ μΈ μΆμ΅, κ°μ κ³Ό μκ°μ΄ μκ°μ μ£Όκ³ λ³΄κ³ , λ£κ³ λλΌλ κ²λ€μ΄ μμ΄λμ΄κ° λμ΄μ€λλ€. κ·Έλ¬λ―λ‘ μ μνμ μ κ° νννκ³ μ νλ κ²κ³Ό μ κ° μ’μνλ κ²λ€μ μ λλ¬λ λλ€. 3. What is your favourite medium and why?I have been doing manual work since I was young and exposed to diverse tools like watercolors, drawing, oil painting, acrylic and colored pencils while preparing for the college entrance exam. It makes me familiar with a variety of materials and tools. I like most of them. But among them, the basic pen and pencil are my favorite tool. Unfortunately, Works are done digitally nowadays to achive the uniformity and storage of the paintings. μ λ μ΄λ¦΄μ λΆν° μμμ μ μ¦κ²Όκ³ λ―Έλμ μλ₯Ό μ€λΉνλ©΄μ μ체ν, μλ¬,μ ν, μν¬λ¦΄, μμ°ν λ± λ€μν λꡬλ₯Ό μ ν΄μμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλμ λ€μν μ¬λ£, λꡬμ μ΅μν©λλ€. λλΆλΆμ μ’μνμ§λ§ κ·Έμ€μμλ κΈ°λ³Έμ μΈ νμ΄κ³Ό μ°νμ κ°μ₯ μ νΈν©λλ€. μνκΉκ²λ, νμ¬ λλΆλΆμ μμ μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ ν΅μΌμ±κ³Ό 보κ΄μ±μ μν΄ λμ§νΈ μμ μΌλ‘ μ§ννκ³ μμ΅λλ€. 4. What is your artistic process like?I usually try to express what I feel and think in my daily life. Various words and sentences that come to mind form images and I draw the painting by choosing the image that suits my mood of the day most. By actually portraying the image I choose, I can organise the complex thoughts in my head and feel refreshed. As time goes by, when you look back at the picture you drew, it brings back the feeling of painting. This is the driving force behind my creation. μ λ μ£Όλ‘ μΌμμμ λλΌκ³ μκ°νλ κ²μ νννλ €κ³ ν©λλ€. λ μ€λ₯΄λ μ¬λ¬ λ¨μ΄λ λ¬Έμ₯λ€μ΄ μ΄λ―Έμ§λ₯Ό μ΄λ£¨κ³ μ λ μ΄λ€ μ€ μ κΈ°λΆκ³Ό κ°μ₯ μ ν©ν μ΄λ―Έμ§λ₯Ό μ μ νμ¬ κ·Έλ¦ΌμΌλ‘ 그립λλ€. μ΄λ―Έμ§λ₯Ό μ€μ λ‘ κ·Έλ €λ΄λ©΄ 볡μ‘νλ λ¨Έλ¦Ώμ μκ°λ€μ΄ μ λ¦¬κ° λκ³ μμΎν κΈ°λΆμ λλμ μμ΄μ! μκ°μ΄ μ§λ μμ μ κ·Έλ Έλ μνμ λ€μ 보면 κ·Έλμ λλμ΄ μ΄μλ©λλ€. μ΄λ μ°½μμ νλ μλλ ₯μ΄ λμ΄μ€λλ€! 5. Who and/or what inspires your work?Everything inspires me. But these days, four seasons, nature and my family affect me most. Korea has four distinct seasons and I can feel them by drawing it. For example, Drawing nature such as grass and trees makes me feel I'm resting there. My dog named love appears at my work as an actress from time to time. λͺ¨λ κ² μκ°μ μ£Όμ§λ§ μμ¦μλ μ¬κ³μ κ³Ό μμ°, κ°μ‘±μ΄ νΉν μν₯μ λ§μ΄ μ£Όλ€μ. νκ΅μ μ¬κ³μ μ΄ λλ ·νλ° μ΄λ₯Ό κ·Έλ¦°λ€λ©΄ κ·Έ κ³μ μ λλ μ μμ΄μ! μλ₯Ό λ€μ΄ ν, λ무 κ°μ μμ°μ 그리면 κ·Έ κ³³μμ ν΄μνλ κΈ°λΆμ λλ μ μλ€κ³ 보면 λκ² λ€μ. νμ¬ λ°λ €κ²¬μΈ 'μ¬λμ΄'λ μ’ μ’ μ μνμ λ°°μ°λ‘ λ±μ₯νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. 6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?Considering my working style, art is like eating, sleeping, breathing to me. It's natural and one of the things that we have to handle in life. Also, contact with art make me look at the world without prejudice and from different angles. Because of art, I get the ability to observe and interpret things diversely. μ μμ μ€νμΌμ κ³ λ €νλ©΄, μμ μ μ μκ² λ°₯λ¨Ήκ³ , μ μκ³ , μ¨μ¬λ κ²κ³Ό κ°μ΅λλ€. μμ°μ€λ¬μ΄ μΌμμ΄κ³ μΆ μμμ ν΄λ΄μΌ νλ κ²λ€ μ€μ νλλΌκ³ μκ°νκ±°λ μ. λ, μμ μ μ ν νμ μΈμμ μ’ λ νΈκ²¬μμ΄, λ€μν κ°λλ‘ λ°λΌλ³΄κ² ν΄μ£Όμλ€μ. κ·Έλμ λ€μν κ°λμμ μ¬λ¬Όμ κ΄μ°°νκ³ ν΄μν μ μλ λ₯λ ₯μ κ°μ§κ² λκ±° κ°μμ. 7. Where did you study?I've been painting since I was young and learned animation and college entrance exam-related study at high school. In university, I studied architecture and visual design. After that, I started my career when I was 23 and there were many things I want to do. I worked in various places such as advertising, architecture, pattern-lust etc. These experiences help me continue my career. μ λ μ΄λ¦΄λλΆν° κΎΈμ€ν κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ €μκ³ κ³ λ±νκ΅ λλ μ λλ©μ΄μ κ³Ό λ―Έλμ μμ κ΄λ ¨λ 곡λΆλ₯Ό νμ΅λλ€. λνκ΅μ μμλ 건μΆκ³Ό μκ°λμμΈμ λ°°μ λ€μ. κ·Έ ν 23μ΄ λλΆν° 컀리μ΄λ₯Ό μμνκ³ λ§μ κ²½νμ ν΄λ³΄κ³ μΆμμ΅λλ€. κ΄κ³ , 건μΆ, ν¨ν΄ μΌλ¬μ€νΈ λ± μ¬λ¬ λΆμΌμμ νλμ κ²½νμ μμκ±° κ°μμ! μ΄λ° κ²½νλ€μ μκ°νλμ μ΄μ΄λκ°λλ° λ§μ λμμ΄ λμμ΅λλ€. 8. Where do you see yourself in five years?I guess I'll be working in the same field. I may learn other skills for more experience but I'll continue my drawing like a habit. I'd like to work more on stories like fairy tales and webtoons and gain experience if there is a chance. Likewise, I hope to work with various countires in various fields. μ¬μ ν κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μμκ±°λΌκ³ μκ°ν΄μ. μ΄μ©λ©΄ λ λ§μ κ²½νμ μν΄ λ€λ₯Έ κΈ°μ μ λ°°μ°κ³ μμμ§λ λͺ¨λ₯΄μ§λ§, μ΅κ΄μ²λΌ κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그릴거 κ°λ€μ. κΈ°νκ° λλ€λ©΄ λνμ μΉν°μ²λΌ μ€ν 리μ κ΄λ ¨λ μμ λ ν΄λ³΄κ³ μΆκΈ°λ ν©λλ€. λ λ€μν λΆμΌμμ μ¬λ¬ λλΌμ ν¨κ» μμ μ ν΄λ³΄κ³ μΆμ΅λλ€! 9. What about in ten?It will be the same answer as above. I'm looking forward to it because I think I could draw more diverse pictures than now. I hope my paintings get better as I'm getting older and desire to become a professional writer through experience at that time. 10λ νλ λ§μ°¬κ°μ§μΌκ±° κ°μμ. μλ§ μ§κΈλ³΄λ€λ λ λ€μν κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그릴 μ μμκ±° κ°μμ κΈ°λκ° λλ€μ. μκ°μ΄ μ§λλ©΄μ λ λ€μν ννμ ν μ μκΈ°λ₯Ό λ°λΌκ³ , κ·ΈλκΉμ§ μμΈ κ²½νμΌλ‘ λ λ₯μνκ² μΌμ²λ¦¬λ₯Ό νλ μ λ¬Έμκ°κ° λμ΄ μμμΌλ©΄ μ’κ² μ΄μ! 10. What do you hope to achieve with your art?Painting has always been a comfort to me and is one of the strengths I have. It is the way to express what I want to express. The more I draw, the more confident I am. I want to continue drawing with my own thoughts without being shaken by trivial things. μ κ² κ·Έλ¦Όμ νμ μμμ΄ λμ΄μ€¬κ³ μ₯μ μ€μ νλμμ. μ κ° νννκ³ μΆμκ±Έ νννλ μλ¨μ΄μ£ . λ§μ΄ 그릴μλ‘ μ μκ² λ ν° μμ κ°μ μ£Όλ€μ. μ¬μν κ²μ λ§μμ΄ νλ€λ¦¬μ§ μκ³ μμ μ μκ°μ κ°μ§κ³ κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ³μ κ·Έλ €λκ°κ³ μΆμ΅λλ€. 11. Now, tell us a little more about you as a person: what is your favourite food?It's definitely coffee. I drink other tea and drinks for my health, but my favorite is coffee, especially fragrant, heavy, dark one. Drinking a cup of coffee quietly is a great pleasure of the day. Coffee with sweet snacks is the best in particular. λ¨μ° 컀νΌμ λλ€. 건κ°μ μν΄μ λ€λ₯Έ μ°¨μ μλ£λ λ§μμ§λ§ κ°μ₯ μ’μνλ건 컀νΌκ΅¬μ, νΉν ν₯κΈ°λ‘κ³ λ¬΅μ§ν, λ€ν¬ν 컀νΌλ₯Ό μ’μν΄μ! μ‘°μ©ν νμμ 컀νΌλ₯Ό λ§μλ κ²μ΄ ν루μ ν° μ¦κ±°μμ΄μμ. νΉν λ¨ κ°μκ³Ό ν¨κ» λ¨Ήλ 컀νΌλ μ λ§ μ΅κ³ μ λλ€. 12. Favourite book?I don't like the books that tell me what is right because the view differs for every people. Maybe that's why I seem to prefer cloud-like content that I can't get my hands on. So my favorite book is "Twinkle Twinkle" by Kaori Ekuni. It shows love as it is without prejudice. μ λ μ³κ³ κ·Έλ¦μ μ¬λλ§λ€ λ€λ₯΄κΈ° λλ¬Έμ 무μμ΄ λ§λ€κ³ νΉμ νλ μ± μ μ’μνμ§ μμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλμ μ κ° μμ μ‘νμ§ μμ κ² κ°μ ꡬλ¦κ°μ λ΄μ©μ μ’μνλ κ±Έμ§λ λͺ°λΌμ. μ μ΅μ μ± μ μμΏ λ κ°μ€λ¦¬μ "λ°μ§λ°μ§ λΉλλ"μ λλ€. μ΄ μ± μμλ νΈκ²¬μμ΄ μλ κ·Έλλ‘μ μ¬λμ λ³Ό μ μκ±°λ μ. 13. Favourite genre of music?I enjoy music that is not too loud and has a moderate rhythm. And It would be better if the lyrics flow moderately rather than sound too well. The song I keep listening to is a song by Nora Jones. μ λ λ무 μλλ½μ§λ μκ³ μ λΉν 리λ¬μ΄ λκ»΄μ§λ μμ μ μ’μν΄μ. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κ°μ¬κ° λ무 μ λ€λ¦¬κΈ°λ³΄λ€λ μ λΉν νλ €λ€μ μ μμΌλ©΄ λ μ’μμ! μ λ λ ΈλΌ μ‘΄μ€μ λ Έλλ€μ κΎΈμ€ν λ£κ³ μμ΄μ. 14. What are your hobbies?My hobbies are walking and watching videos. I take a walk almost every day. Thanks to my dog, I'm doing it semi-forced. It helps me organize my thoughts and have a calm mind. If you have something important or something to think about, you can get a solution as you take a walk. I watch movies, dramas and YouTube because I like to see various videos. Thriller, action and rhetoric are preferred genre. μ μ·¨λ―Έλ μ°μ± κ³Ό λΉλμ€ κ°μμ λλ€. κ±°μ λ§€μΌ μ°μ± μ νλλ°, κ°μμ§ λλΆμ λ° κ°μμ μΌλ‘ νκ³ μλ€μ. μ°μ± μ νλ©΄ μκ°μ΄ μ 리λκ³ λ§μμ΄ μ°¨λΆν΄μ§λλ° λμμ΄ λ©λλ€. μ€μν μΌμ΄λ κ³ λ―Όμ΄ νμν μΌμ΄ μκΈ°λ©΄, μ°μ± μ ν΅ν΄ ν΄κ²°νκ³ μλ€μ! μμμ λ€μνκ² λ³΄λ κ²μ μ’μν΄μ μν, λλΌλ§, μ νλΈλ₯Ό κ°λ¦¬μ§ μκ³ λ³΄κ³ μμ΄μ. μ€λ¦΄λ¬λ¬Ό, μ‘μ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μμ¬λ¬Όμ μ νΈνꡬμ! 15. If you weren't an artist, what would you be?I never thought about this issue before. I think I might become a lawyer even though i'm not good at studying(lol). Being a person who fights and gives advice for others in trouble is what I want to be. And giving actual help, not volunteer work matters when choosing a job. I guess lawyer suits best for these conditions. μ΄ λ¬Έμ μ λν΄ μ μ μκ°ν΄λ³Έ μ μ μλ€μ. λΉλ‘ 곡λΆλ₯Ό μνλ νΈμ μλμ§λ§(μμ) λ³νΈμ¬κ° λμ§ μμμκΉ μκ°ν©λλ€. κ³€λν μ¬λλ€μ μν΄ μΈμμ£Όκ³ μ‘°μΈμ ν΄μ£Όλ μ¬λμ΄ λκ³ μΆκ±°λ μ! λ΄μ¬κ° μλ μ€μ§μ μΈ λμμ μ£Όλκ² μ€μνκ±° κ°μμ. λ³νΈμ¬κ° κ°μ₯ μ ν©νμ§ μλ μκ°ν©λλ€.
