Instagram: @mintsummer_6 1. What's your story? Where are you from?Hello? I am Zia Jung, who is working as an illustrator in Korea. I am drawing with the artist's name 'MintSummer'. After majoring in Visual Communication Design at University, I worked as a motion graphic designer for quite some time and now I am working as a freelance illustrator. I liked the motion graphics work that gave movement with technical techniques, but I listened to the inner voice of wanting to focus more on my own painting world. So I decided to become a freelance illustrator. Drawings have been steadily drawn since childhood, and life without pictures is hard to imagine. μλ νμΈμ? μ λ λνλ―Όκ΅μμ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°λ‘ νλνκ³ μλ μ μ§μμ λλ€. βλ―ΌνΈμΈλ¨ΈβλΌλ μκ°λͺ μ κ°μ§κ³ κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ―Έμ λνμμ μκ°λμμΈμ μ 곡ν ν, κ½€ μ€λ μκ°λμ λͺ¨μ κ·Έλν½ λμμ΄λλ‘ μΌνκ³ νμ¬λ ν리λμ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°λ‘ μΌνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. ν ν¬λ컬ν κΈ°μ λ‘ μμ§μμ μ£Όλ λͺ¨μ κ·Έλν½ μμ λ€λ μ’μμ§λ§, λλ§μ κ·Έλ¦Ό μΈκ³μ λ μ§μ€νκ³ μΆμ λ΄λ©΄μ μ리μ κ·λ₯Ό κΈ°μΈμ΄κ² λμμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλμ ν리λμ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°κ° λκΈ°λ‘ κ²°μ¬νμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλ¦Όμ μ΄λ¦° μμ λΆν° κΎΈμ€ν κ·Έλ €μκ³ , κ·Έλ¦Όμ΄ μλ μΆμ μμνκΈ° νλλλ€. ![]() 2. Tell us about your aesthetic.Inspired by nature and everyday life, the focus is on a variety of beautiful color combinations, textures, and layouts. μμ°κ³Ό μΌμμμ μκ°μ λ°μμ λ€μνκ³ μλ¦λ€μ΄ μκ°μ μ‘°ν©κ³Ό μ§κ°, λ μ΄μμμ ν¬μ»€μ€λ₯Ό λ§μΆκ³ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μμ΅λλ€. 3. What is your favourite medium and why?I prefer digital work. This is because you can mix brushes and textures, and you can freely modify colors and shapes and experiment in real time while working. For these reasons, I think it's very practical for clients that need to be able to deliver high quality results on time. But sometimes I miss something analog, so I do it manually when I have time. Certainly, there is fun and excitement that is different from digital work. λμ§νΈ μμ μ μ νΈν©λλ€. λΈλ¬μμ μ§κ°μ νΌν©ν μ μκ³ , μμ μ€ μ€μκ°μΌλ‘ μμ λ‘κ² μκ°κ³Ό ννλ₯Ό μμ νκ³ λ€μν μ€νμ΄ κ°λ₯νκΈ° λλ¬Έμ λλ€. μ΄λ¬ν μ΄μ λ€ λλ¬Έμ, κΈ°νλ΄μ κ³ ν리ν°μ κ²°κ³Όλ¬Όμ λμΆν μ μμ΄μΌ νλ ν΄λΌμ΄μΈνΈ μμ μμ λ§€μ° μ€μ©μ μ΄λΌκ³ μκ°ν©λλ€. νμ§λ§ λλλ‘ μλ λ‘κ·Έ μ μΈ κ²μ΄ 그리μμ μκ°μ΄ μ¬μ λ‘μΈ λλ μμμ μ νκΈ°λ ν©λλ€. νμ€ν λμ§νΈ μμ κ³Όλ λ€λ₯Έ μ¬λ―Έμ κ°λμ΄ μ‘΄μ¬ν©λλ€. 4. What is your artistic process like?Both personal work and commercial work with clients start with an idea sketch. Sometimes I draw with paper and pencil, and I sketch in Procreate. Various images that were collected in advance are helpful for ideas. If you are satisfied with the idea, I paint and finish in Photoshop or ProCreate. κ°μΈ μμ κ³Ό ν΄λΌμ΄μΈνΈκ° μλ μμ μ μΈ μμ λͺ¨λ μμ΄λμ΄ μ€μΌμΉλ‘ μμν©λλ€. μ’ μ΄μ μ°νλ‘ κ·Έλ¦΄ λλ μκ³ , νλ‘ν¬λ¦¬μμ΄νΈμμ μ€μΌμΉ νκΈ°λ ν©λλ€. νμμ 미리 μλ£ μμ§μ νλ λ€μν μ΄λ―Έμ§κ° μμ΄λμ΄μ λμμ΄ λκΈ°λ ν©λλ€. μμ΄λμ΄κ° λ§μ‘±μ€λ½λ€λ©΄ ν¬ν μ΅μ΄λ νλ‘ν¬λ¦¬μμ΄νΈλ₯Ό ν΅ν΄ μ±μμ νκ³ λ§λ¬΄λ¦¬ν©λλ€. 5. Who and/or what inspires your work?In fact, artists think that everything they see and hear is affected. So I try to have as many experiences as possible even in my busy daily life. I am most inspired by travel and nature. I like to care for and observe a variety of plants, and I love animals. So, it appears as a material in my work. I am also deeply inspired by new stimuli (scenery, people, food culture, etc.) from my travel destination. Through social media, I can easily access and influence the works of many artists around the world. Going to the exhibition is also helpful. Seeing the works of other cool artists in real life, not on the Internet or in books, is a big resonant in my heart. In fact, when I went to the exhibition hall to appreciate, I was really impressed and surprised by Henri Rousseau's βThe Snake Shaman." I saw it when the 'Orsay Museum' works were invited to Korea, and the wild and exotic... primitiveβ¦ I was choked by the overwhelming atmosphere that could not be explained in words, so I kept looking at it for 40 minutes (I think I would have appreciated it more if I had time). If I visit France, I definitely want to see you again. In addition to this, I like Henri Matisse, Edgar Degas, David Hockney, Dahlov Ipcar, and Emily Sutton. μ¬μ€ μμ κ°λ€μ λ³΄κ³ λ£λ λͺ¨λ κ²μμ μν₯μ λ°λλ€κ³ μκ°ν©λλ€. κ·Έλμ λ°μ μΌμ μμμλ λλλ‘ λ§μ κ²½νμ νλ €κ³ λ Έλ ₯ν©λλ€. μ λ μ¬νκ³Ό μμ°μμ κ°μ₯ λ§μ μκ°μ λ°μ΅λλ€. λ€μν μλ¬Όλ€μ κ°κΎΈκ³ κ΄μ°°νλ κ²μ μ’μνκ³ , λλ¬Όλ€μ μ¬λν©λλ€. κ·Έλμ μ μμ μλ λ§μ΄ μμ¬λ‘ λ±μ₯ν©λλ€. λν μΌμμ λ λ μ¬νμ§μμμ μλ‘μ΄ μκ·Ήλ€(νκ²½, μ¬λλ€, μλ¬Έν λ±)μ κΉμ μκ°μ λ°μ΅λλ€.

What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?Art makes not only me but our lives fragrant and beautiful. How many things in the world have no artistic elements added? I am happy to be able to express my thoughts, feelings, and tastes with paintings, the way I can do it. I think artists have the ability to see 'special' even in small and ordinary things. μμ μ μ λΏλ§ μλλΌ μ°λ¦¬μ μΆμ ν₯κΈ°λ‘κ³ μλ¦λ΅κ² ν΄μ€λλ€. μΈμμ μμ μ μμκ° κ°λ―Έλμ§ μμ κ²λ€μ΄ μΌλ§λ μμκΉμ? μ κ° ν μ μλ λ°©μμΈ κ·Έλ¦ΌμΌλ‘ μ μκ°κ³Ό κ°μ , μ·¨ν₯μ ννν μ μμ΄μ κΈ°μ©λλ€. μμ κ°λ€μ μκ³ νλ²ν κ²μμλ βνΉλ³ν¨βμ λ³Ό μ μλ λ₯λ ₯μ΄ μλ€κ³ μκ°ν©λλ€. ![]() 7.

Where do you see yourself in five years?I hope to open my studio and work on cool and fun projects with my pets. I wish I could live as an illustrator who achieves a good balance between work and life. If there is an opportunity, I would like to live in another country for a certain period of time, spend time on personal projects, and live a true βdigital nomadβ life. μ μ€νλμ€λ₯Ό μ΄κ³ μ μ λλ¬Όλ€κ³Ό ν¨κ» λ©μ§κ³ μ¬λ―Έμλ νλ‘μ νΈλ€μ μ§ννκΈΈ λ°λλλ€. μΌκ³Ό μΆμ κ· νμ μ μ΄λ£¨λ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°λ‘ μ΄μκ°μΌλ©΄ μ’κ² μ΅λλ€. κΈ°νκ° μκΈ΄λ€λ©΄ λ€λ₯Έ λλΌμ μΌμ κΈ°κ° κ±°μ£Ό νλ©΄μ κ°μΈ νλ‘μ νΈμ μκ°μ ν μ νλ©° μ§μ ν βλμ§νΈ λ Έλ§λβμ μΆμ μ΄μλ³΄κ³ μΆμ΅λλ€. 9.

Now, tell us a little more about you as a person: what is your favourite food?There are so many delicious food in the world that it is difficult to choose just one, but umβ¦ I love fruits and seafood dishes. Whenever I travel to other countries, I like to discover and enjoy new flavors. I have traveled to many countries such as Europe and Asia, but seafood-based food made with various ingredients that I had tasted on my trip to Thailand were very good. Of course, the tropical fruits were great too. Especially, I remember the moments of the joyful cooking class I experienced in Bangkok. I also remember the octopus and cod dishes I had in Greece and Spain. μΈμμλ λ§μλ μμλ€μ΄ λ§μμ νλλ§ μ ννκΈ° μ΄λ ΅μ§λ§, μβ¦ μ λ κ³ΌμΌλ€κ³Ό ν΄μ°λ¬Ό μ리λ€μ μμ£Ό μ’μν©λλ€. λ€λ₯ΈλλΌλ€μ μ¬νν λ λ§λ€ μλ‘μ΄ λ§μ μ°Ύμλ³΄κ³ μ¦κΈ°λ κ²μ μ’μν©λλ€. μ λ½κ³Ό μμμ λ± μ¬λ¬ κ΅κ°λ€μ μ¬ν νμμ§λ§, νκ΅ μ¬νμμ λ§λ³΄μλ λ€μ±λ‘μ΄ μ¬λ£λ‘ λ§λ€μ΄μ§ ν΄μ°λ¬Ό κΈ°λ°μ μμλ€μ λ§€μ° νλ₯νμ΅λλ€. λ¬Όλ‘ μ΄λ κ³ΌμΌλ€λ λ무 μ’μμ΅λλ€. νΉν λ°©μ½μμ κ²½ννλ μ¦κ±°μ΄ μΏ νΉ ν΄λμ€μ μκ°μ΄ λ μ€λ¦ λλ€. 그리μ€μ μ€νμΈμμ λ§λ³΄μλ λ¬Έμ΄μ λꡬ μ리λ κΈ°μ΅μ΄ λλ€μ. 12.

The two classic novels are fun and interesting no matter how much you reread. νΈλ°λ°μ νμκΎΌκ³Ό ν리λμμ μ’μν©λλ€. μΈκ°μ΄ κ°μ§κ³ μλ μ¬λ¬κ°μ§ λ΄λ©΄λ€μ μ¬λ¦¬μ μΌλ‘ μ λ¬μ¬ν΄μ μ’μν©λλ€. λ κ°μ§μ λͺ μ μμ€μ μ무리 λ€μ μ½μ΄λ μ¬λ°κ³ ν₯λ―Έλ‘μ΅λλ€. 13.

In particular, novelists are published as books, and I think it's wonderful to be able to produce movies or dramas later. μλ¬Όνμ, μ‘°λ₯νμ, μμ€κ°κ° λμμ κ² κ°μ΅λλ€. νΉν μμ€κ°λ μ± μΌλ‘ μΆνμ΄ λκ³ , λμ€μ μνλ λλΌλ§λ‘ μ μ λ μ μμ΄μ λ©μ§ κ² κ°μ΅λλ€. ![]() ![]() Comments are closed.
