1. What’s your story? Where are you from?

I live in Seoul, Korea.

2. Tell us about your aesthetic.

I think drawing a picture is like playing chess. The number of possible cases and the unpredictable happen within one square. It is infinite and I think that infinite possibilities are beautiful.

3. What is your favourite medium and why?

Digital, using iPad. Drawing anywhere in a smaller space, more convenient than Wacom.

4. What is your artistic process like?

Mainly, materials are obtained from old paintings (1700 years). When I find a person or object that want to draw, I create a story in it. And color it.

Shin Yunbok/고종임인진연도 ( I can't find how to translate eng version, sorry) www.jungle.co.kr/magazine/200521 (this is that painting) 申潤福 (신윤복)/고종임인진연도
