I usually work digitally, but I draw a lot with a pen or a pencil. I like to draw in my sketchbook.

4. What is your artistic process like?

My artistic process starts with a pen. There are two occasions to think of ideas. First one is that I get ideas suddenly when I do something others. Second one is to focus on seeing art works or doodling random things. I develop these random sketches and ideas to finished one.

5. Who and/or what inspires your work?

There are so many artists who inspire me. My favorite artists are Picasso, Basquiat and Francis Bacon. I like Keith Herring and John Wesley too.

6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?

Art plays an important role in my life. I contact everything around me with my work. Art changes my view to see the world with objects, accidents, living creatures and people. I take pictures to record and memorize ideas and this behavior is all for references. Procedures like I mentioned are for my works. Toy_MinjuAn

I will keep doing art. In addition, I have a plan to go to university. I want to study psychology for MA.

10. What do you hope to achieve with your art?

The most vital thing is to make myself satisfied with my art. I hope to make distinctive works in comparison of other works. Also, I think artworks have to be interesting and make people interested. I want people to feel something special after seeing my works. Thunder_MinjuAn

My favourite books are The Metamorphosis by Franz kafka and The Stranger by Albert Camus. I prefer dark and simple stories.

13. Favourite genre of music?

I hate noisy music. I like quiet and rhythmical one.

I do not have specific hobbies. Watching variety programs is a way for me to relieve stress. I get some inspiration from humor and comedy. I usually go to galleries whenever I have a spare time and I find new artists and artworks. I think It is my hobby.

15. If you weren't an artist, what would you be?

I am interested in psychology. If I weren't an artist, I would be a psychologist. Sausage_MinjuAnDiary_MinjuAnJellyfish_MinjuAn
