1. What's your story? Where are you from?My name is Hyekang and I'm from South Korea. I am free-lancer illustration artist. I graduated from Sangmyoung University with a bachelorโs degree in Korean painting. I'm currently working with Digital Korean Painting. ์๋ ํ์ธ์. ์ ๋ ํ์ฌ ํ๊ตญ์์ ํ๋ฆฌ๋์ค ์ผ๋ฌ์คํธ๋ ์ดํฐ๋ก ํ๋ ์ค์ธ ํ๊ฐ์ ๋๋ค. ํ๊ตญํ๋ฅผ ์ ๊ณตํ๊ณ ๋์งํธํ๊ตญํ๋ฅผ ์ฃผ๋ก ์์ ํ๊ณ ์์ต๋๋ค.![]() 2. Tell us about your artwork.I draw daily life of girls who love Korean tradition, especially, Hanbok which is Korean traditional clothes. Also, I draw young girlโs imaginations that have ambiguous border between dreams and reality. When I was 10 years old, my mom bought me my first โHanbokโ. It had a pale pink coat โJeogoriโ (A coat of traditional Korean clothes โHanbokโ) and a skirt with little flower patterns on, for a school play. I loved the dress, because I thought I looked like a princess. I've, ever since then, been inspired by the beauty of traditional Korean clothing, hence my great interest in Hanbok. Which is why I said to myself; "when I grow up, I want to let the entire world know just how beautiful Korean traditional clothing can be". Every moment of my life is dedicated to achieve that dream. Rather than bringing up the past, I always strive to express this beauty in my own, present, way in order to create a unique piece of art that is in line with Korean traditions. ํ๊ตญ ์ ํต์์์ธ ํ๋ณต์ ์ข์ํ๊ณ ์ ํต์ ์ฌ๋ํ๋ ์๋ ์ ์ผ์๊ณผ, ๊ฟ๊ณผ ํ์ค์ ๊ฒฝ๊ณ๊ฐ ๋ชจํธํ ์๋ ๋ค์ ์์์ ๊ทธ๋ฆฝ๋๋ค.์ด๋ฆฐ์์ , ์ด๋ฑํ๊ต 3ํ๋ ๋ ์๋ง๊ฐ ํ์ํ ์์์ผ๋ก ์ฐ๋ถํ์ ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์ ์น๋ง์ ์๊ธฐ์๊ธฐํ ๊ฝ๋ฌด๋ฌ๊ฐ ๊ทธ๋ ค์ง ์์ ํ๋ณต์ ์ฌ์ฃผ์ ๊ธฐ์ต์ด ์์ด์. ๊ผญ ๊ณต์ฃผ๋ ๋๋ ์ค๊ฐ์ ์ด๋ฆด ๋ ๊ทธ ํ๋ณต์ ์์ฒญ ์๊ผ๋ ๊ธฐ์ต์ด ์๋๋ฐ ํ๋ณต์ ๋น๋กฏํ ํ๊ตญ์ ํต์ ๋ํด ์ ์ฐฉ๊ณผ ๊ด์ฌ์ ๊ฐ์ง๊ฒ ๋ ๊ฒ๋ ๊ทธ ๋ฌด๋ ต๋ถํฐ์๋ ๊ฒ ๊ฐ์์. ๊ทธ๋์ ๋์ค์ ์ด๋ฅธ์ด ๋๋ฉด ๊ผญ ํ๊ตญ์ ํต์ ๋ฏธ๋ฅผ ๋์ค๋ค์๊ฒ ์๋ฆฌ๋ ์ฌ๋์ด ๋์ด์ผ๊ฒ ๋ค๊ณ ์๊ฐํ์ด์. โ์ ํตโ์ ๋๋ง์ ๊ฐ์ฑ์ผ๋ก ์ํ์ ๋ น์ด๋ ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ์ ๋ํด ๊ณ ๋ฏผํ๊ณ ์์ผ๋ฉฐ, ๊ณผ๊ฑฐ๋ฅผ ๊ทธ๋๋ก ์ฎ๊ฒจ์ค๋ ๊ฒ์ด ์๋๋ผ ํ์ฌ์ ์๊ฐ ์์์ ๊ณ์ ๋ณํ๋์ด๊ฐ๋ ์ ํต์ ์๋ก์ด ๋ฉด์ ์์ ์ ํตํด ๋ณด์ฌ์ฃผ๊ณ ์ถ์ด์.3. What is your favorite medium and why?My favorite tool is Photoshop, since it is convenient and easy to use. Information is highly accessible and I can work from everywhere. However, I usually combine software with hand painting, as software is usually limited to express certain natural feeling whereas painting by hand is not. ์ ๋ ์ฃผ๋ก ์์ ์ ํธ์์ ํฌํ ์ต์ผ๋ก ์์ ์ ํ๋ ํธ์ด์์. ์์ ์ด ์ฉ์ดํ๊ณ ์์ ๊ณต๊ฐ์ ์ ์ฝ์ด ์๋ค๋ ์ ์์ ๋์งํธ์์ ์ ๋ง์ ์ฅ์ ์ด ์์ง๋ง, ํ๊ตญํํน์ ์ ๋ฌผ๊ฐ์ ๋ฒ์ง์ด๋ ํ์ง์ ์ง๊ฐ์ ํํํ๊ธฐ์๋ ํ๊ณ๊ฐ ์๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ ์ต๊ทผ์๋ ํ๊ตญํ์์์ ๊ณผ ๋์งํธ ์์ ์ ์์ด์ ์์ ํ๊ณ ์์ด์.4. What is your artistic process like?I always have a sketchbook with me in case of spontaneous ideas. When I get inspired immediately sketch the ideas down, so I can develop the image in Photoshop and โesquisseโ later on. I then draw based on the โesquisseโ image. The process is just like when I draw Korean paintings. First, I draw an outline, then I fill the outline with color and finally sign the drawing. ๋๋ก์๋ถ์ ํญ์ ๋ค๊ณ ๋ค๋๋ฉด์ ์๊ฐ์ ์ผ๋ก ๋ ์ค๋ฅด๋ ์ด๋ฏธ์ง๋ ๊ฐ์ , ์์ด๋์ด๋ค์ ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์ผ๋ก ๊ธฐ๋กํด ๋๋ ํธ์ด์์. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ ์์ ์ ์์ํ ๋ ๋๋ก์๋ถ์์ ์ํ๋ ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์ ๊บผ๋ด์ด ํฌํ ์ต์์ ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์ธ ์์คํค์ค๋ก ์ฎ๊น๋๋ค. ์์คํค์ค์์ ์ด ๋๋๋ฉด ์ด๋ฅผ ํ ๋๋ก ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์ ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๋๋ฐ ์์ ๊ณผ์ ์ ํ๊ตญํ์์ ๊ณผ์ ๊ณผ ๋น์ทํด์. ์ธ๊ฐ ์ ์ ๋จผ์ ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ ๊ทธ ์์ ์์ ์ฑ์๋๊ฐ ํ ๋ง์ง๋ง์ ๋๊ด์ ์ฌ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์ด ์์ฑ๋ฉ๋๋ค.5. Who and/or what inspires your work?A great part of my inspirations comes from historical documentaries, Korean Survivals and culture. My work is heavily based on Korean traditions as mentioned earlier, which is why I want to study about the subject and am always looking for new materials to learn from. These days, I search the fusion hanbok design because โHanbokโ is in vogue among the young generation. Other than that, I get new ideas from my daily life, feelings, memories from my childhood, favorite movies, music, photos, art etc. There are many ways I get inspired. Inspiration comes, in other worlds, from my modern daily life, despite that I draw in a traditional way ์์ ์ ์๊ฐ์ ๋ฐ๋ ํต๋ก๋ ๊ต์ฅํ ๋ค์ํด์.์ฐ์ ์์ ์ฃผ์ ์ ๊ด๋ จํด์๋ ํ๊ตญ ์ฌ๊ทน๋๋ผ๋ง, ์ํ, ํ๊ตญ์ ์ ๋ฌผ, ๋ฌธํ์ฌ๋ฅผ ํตํด ์ํฅ์ ๋ง์ด ๋ฐ๋ ํธ์ด์์. ์ ๊ฐ ์๋์ ์ ํต์ ๊ด์ฌ์ด ๋ง๊ธฐ๋ ํ๊ณ ์์ ์ฃผ์ ๊ฐ ์ ํต๊ณผ ๊ด๋ จ๋๋ค๋ณด๋ ์ ํต์ ๋ํ ๊ณต๋ถ๋ฅผ ๋ง์ด ํด์ผํ ํ์์ฑ๋ ๋๊ปด ์์์ ์ผ๋ก ๋ ์ฐพ์๋ณด๊ฒ ๋ผ์. ์ต๊ทผ์๋ ์ ์ ์ธต ์ฌ์ด์์ ํ๋ณตํจ์ ์ด ์ ํํ๊ณ ์๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ ์ํํ๋ณต ๋ฑ์ ํจ์ ํ๋ณต๋์์ธ๋ ๋ง์ด ์ฐพ์ ๋ณด๋ ํธ์ด๊ตฌ์. ๊ทธ ์ธ์๋ ์ ์ ์ผ์์์ ๊ฒฝํํ๋ ์ผ์ด๋, ๋๊ผ๋ ๊ฐ์ , ์ด๋ฆฐ์์ ์ ์ถ์ต, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ ์ข์ํ๋ ์ํ, ์์ , ์ฌ์ง, ๋ฏธ์ ์ํ ๋ฑ ๋ค์ํ ๊ฒฝ๋ก๋ฅผ ํตํด ์๊ฐ์ ๋ฐ์์. ์ ํต์ ์ฃผ์ ๋ก ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์ ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ธด ํ์ง๋ง ๋ฐ๋์ ์ ํต๊ณผ ๊ด๋ จ๋ ์์ฌ์์๋ง ์๊ฐ์ ๋ฐ๋ ํธ์ ์๋์์.6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?To me, painting means self-expression and self-healing. It is when I use my imagination, I truly get to know myself. I can become more positive and get energy through the creative activities because the painting is the one of the most important things in my life. Above all things, Painting is the reasons why I can live my life more honestly and always show me the way how to live my life. In addition, I get a lot of energy from people who like my work. ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์ ์ ์๊ฒ๋ ์๊ธฐํํ์ ์๋จ์ด์ ์น์ ์ ์๋จ์ธ ๊ฒ ๊ฐ์์. ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์ ํตํด ์ ๋จธ๋ฆฟ์์ ๋ ๋๋ ์๊ฐ, ์ด๋ฏธ์ง๋ฅผ ๊บผ๋ด ๋ค๋ฌ๊ณ ์ ๋ฆฌํด๋๊ฐ๋ ๊ณผ์ ์์ ์ ์์ ์ ๋ํด์๋ ๋ ์ ์ดํดํ๊ฒ ๋ผ์. ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์ ์ด์จ๋ ์ ์๊ฒ ์์ด์ ๊ฐ์ฅ ์ค์ํ ๋ถ๋ถ ์ค ํ๋์ด๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์, ์ฐฝ์์ ํตํด ์ค์ค๋ก ๋ง์ ์๋์ง๋ฅผ ์ป์ด์. ๋ฌด์๋ณด๋ค๋ ์ ์์ ์ด ์กฐ๊ธ ๋ ์์งํ ์ถ์ ์ด ์ ์๋๋ก, ๊ธธ์ ์์ง ์๋๋ก ํด์ฃผ๋ ๊ฒ ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์ธ ๊ฒ ๊ฐ์์. ์ ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์ ๋ณธ ๋ง์ ๋ถ๋ค์ด ๊ณต๊ฐํด์ฃผ์๊ณ ์ข์ํด์ฃผ์๋ ๊ฒ์ ๋ง์ ํ์ ์ป๊ธฐ๋ ํ๊ตฌ์.![]() 7.

Where do you see yourself in five years?First of all, I would like to study about Korean painting deeply. I hope, after 5 years, I could add the high rate for hand-painting parts more on my work get more professional working skills than the digital skills. I think it would be good to show the deeper vibe on my work to people. Secondly, I want to have my own working place to fill with my paintings and items related with tradition that I collected. Also, I would like to open the Korean painting class based on the lots of know-how that I learned. Fourth, I would like to make some products with my design. I had my own goods like stickers, posts and others and also sell them now but I hope I could make various products such as interior pieces and clothes beyond stationery. Someday, I image that I wear the โHanbokโ I designed and walk on the street. Plus, Iโd like to take pottery class and make a ceramics with my own painting. Well, I think I have so many things that I want to learn. I am not sure I could achieve all my plans within 5 years. ์ฐ์ ํ๊ตญํ์ ๋ํ ๊ณต๋ถ๋ฅผ ๋ ๊น๊ฒ ํ๊ณ ์ถ์ ๋ง์์ด ํฌ๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ 5๋ ํ์๋ ๋์งํธ์์ ์ธ์๋ ํ๊ตญํ ์์์ ์ ๋๋ ค์ ํํ์ ํญ์ด ์ปค์ง๊ณ ์์ ์ ๊น์ด๊ฐ ๋ ์๊ฒผ์ผ๋ฉด ์ข๊ฒ ์ด์. ๋๋ฒ์งธ๋ก๋ ์์ ์ค์ ์ฐจ๋ ค์ ์ ๊ทธ๋ฆผ๋ค๊ณผ ํจ๊ป ์ ๊ฐ ์์งํ ์ ํต๊ณผ ๊ด๋ จ๋ ์ํ๋ค๋ก ์ฐจ๊ณก์ฐจ๊ณก ์ฑ์๋๊ฐ๊ณ ์ถ์ด์. ๋ ๊ทธ๋์ ํฐ๋ํ ์์ ๋ ธํ์ฐ๋ฅผ ๋ฐํ์ผ๋ก ํ๊ตญํ ์์ ์ ์ด์ํ๊ณ ์ถ์ด์.์ธ ๋ฒ์งธ๋ก๋ ์ผ๋ฌ์คํธ๋ถ์ ๋ด๊ณ ์ถ์ด์. ์ง๊ธ๋ณด๋ค ์์ ์์ด ๋ ๋ง์ด ๋ชจ์ด๋ฉด, ์ ๊ฐ ์ง์ ๋์์ธํ ์ฑ ์ ๋ง๋ค๊ณ ์ถ์ด์๋ค ๋ฒ์งธ๋ก๋ ์ ์์ ์ ๋ค์ํ ์ํ์ผ๋ก ๋ง๋ค๊ณ ์ถ์ด์. ์ง๊ธ๋ ์ฝ์, ์คํฐ์ปค ๋ฑ์ ์์ํ ๊ตฟ์ฆ๋ ๋ง๋ค์ด ํ๋งคํ๊ณ ์์ง๋ง, ์์ผ๋ก๋ ๋ฌธ๊ตฌ๋ฅ ๋ฟ๋ง ์๋๋ผ ์ธํ ๋ฆฌ์ด ์ํ, ์๋ฅ ๋ฑ ๋ค์ํ ์ํ๋ค์ ๋ง๋ค์ด๋ณด๊ณ ์ถ์ด์. ์ ๊ทธ๋ฆผ ์์ ๋ฑ์ฅํ๋ ํ๋ณต์ ์ง์ ์ ์ํด์ ์ ๊ณ ๋ค๋๊ณ ์ถ๊ธฐ๋ ํ๊ณ , ๋์๋ฅผ ๋ฐฐ์์ ์ ๊ฐ ์ง์ ์ ์ํ ๋์๊ธฐ์ ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์ ๊ทธ๋ ค ์์ฑํด๋ณด๊ณ ์ถ๊ธฐ๋ ํด์. ๋ฐฐ์ฐ๊ณ ์ถ์ ๊ฒ ๋๋ฌด ๋ง์๋ฐ 5๋ ์์ ๋ค ๊ฐ๋ฅํ ์ง๋ ๋ชจ๋ฅด๊ฒ ๋ค์9. What about in ten?10 years later, I wish I could get my own story and aura to play with on my work as an artist. I donโt want to lose my own feeling in 10 years. And I want everyone to know of my artist name draws the tradition with modern feeling. For this, I have to be diligent and I also have a plan to do social activities for tradition to develop it continuously because the goal of my work is to let people know how beautiful the tradition is and make them have the new realization of it. I have no specific forms and plans about it but I think it would be great to hang out with people who are in the various fields like music, pottery, dance and design besides the art. 10๋ ํ์๋ ์๊ฐ๋ก์ ์ ๋ง์ ์คํ ๋ฆฌ์ ์์ฐ๋ผ๋ฅผ ํ์คํ ๊ฐ์ง๊ณ ์ถ์ด์. 10๋ ์ด ์ง๋ ํ์๋ ์ง๊ธ์ ๊ฐ์ฑ์ ์์ง ์๊ณ ์ ํต์ ํ๋์ ๊ฐ์ฑ์ผ๋ก ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๋ ํ๊ตญํ ์๊ฐ๋ก ์ด๋ฆ์ ์๋ฆฌ๊ณ ์ถ์ด์. ๊ทธ๋ฌ๊ธฐ ์ํด์๋ ์์ ์ ๊ฒ์๋ฆฌ ํด์๋ ์ ๋๊ฒ ์ฃ . ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ ์ ์์ ์ ๋ชฉ์ ์ด ์ฌ๋๋ค๋ก ํ์ฌ๊ธ ์ ํต์ ๋ํ ์๋ฆ๋ค์์ ์๊ฒ ํ๊ณ ์๋ก์ด ์ธ์์ ๊ฐ๊ฒ ํ๋ ๊ฒ์ด๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ ์ ํต์ ์ง์์ ์ผ๋ก ๋ฐ์ ์ํฌ ์ ์๋ ์ฌํ์ ํ๋์ ํ๊ณ ์ถ์ด์. ๊ทธ๊ฒ ์ด๋ค ํํ์ผ์ง๋ ์์ง ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์ผ๋ก ๋ ์ค๋ฅด์ง ์์ง๋ง, ๋ฏธ์ ์ธ์ ์์ , ๋์, ๋ฌด์ฉ, ๋์์ธ ๋ฑ ๋ค์ํ ๋ถ์ผ์ ์ฌ๋๋ค๊ณผ ํจ๊ป ํ ์ ์๋ค๋ฉด ์ ๋ง ์ข์ ๊ฒ ๊ฐ์์.10.
