1. What's your story? Where are you from?Hello! My name is BaekYeon. I work as a freelance illustrator based in South Korea. I draw strange sceneries and odd fancies of my own. I think the happiest moment I have is when I draw and appreciate paintings. μλ νμΈμ. μ λ λ°±μ°μ λλ€. νκ΅μμ ν리λμ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°λ‘ νλνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ―μ μ₯λ©΄κ³Ό μ λ§μ μ΄μν μμλ€μ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλ¦Ό 그리λ μκ°κ³Ό κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ°μνλ μκ°μ΄ κ°μ₯ ν볡ν©λλ€.![]() 2. Tell us about your aesthetic.I like drawing some strange and odd spaces. These spaces are the production of my imagination. I sketch my imaginary place and fill it with colors I like. I think itβs a pleasant thing to convey my fantasy in the form of paintings. I hope that each painting can be made into a short fairy tale (one-page fairy tale). μ λ λ―μ€κ³ μ΄μν 곡κ°μ 그리λ κ²μ μ’μν©λλ€. κ·Έ 곡κ°μ μ λ§μ μμμ΄μ£ . μ λ¨Έλ¦Ώμμμ κ·Έλ¦° κ·Έ 곡κ°μ μ€μΌμΉνκ³ , κ·Έκ²μ μ κ° μ’μνλ μκ°λ€λ‘ μ±μλλ€. λ¨Έλ¦Ώμμ μμμ κ·Έλ¦ΌμΌλ‘ μ νλ κ²μ κ½€ μ¦κ±°μ΄ μΌμ΄λΌ μκ°ν©λλ€. κ·Έκ²μ΄ λ¨ ν μ₯μΌλ‘ κ·Έλ €μ§ λ¨νΈ λνλ‘μ(ν μ₯μ§λ¦¬μ λν) μ λ¬λμμΌλ©΄ νλ λ°λμ΄ μμ΅λλ€.3. What is your favourite medium and why?I like various mediums. I like to draw with colored pencils and watercolors as well as pencils, and my favorite medium is acrylic paints. Since I began to work in real earnest as an illustrator, Iβve worked on my pictures by sketching with a pencil and coloring them using digital tools. Iβve addressed the coloring method for my work to find out the best way to make the most of the feeling of a pencil drawing which I prefer. As a result, I usually sketch with pencils and then color it using Photoshop so that the feeling of the pencil sketch remains vivid. Iβm currently thinking about ways to mix manual work and digital work in a harmonious manner. μ λ κ½€ λ€μν μ¬λ£λ€μ μ’μν©λλ€. μ°ν λλ‘μμ λ¬Όλ‘ μμ°νκ³Ό μμ±ν λ¬Όκ°, νΉν μν¬λ¦΄ λ¬Όκ°μ μ’μν©λλ€. 본격μ μΌλ‘ μμ μ μμν μ΅κ·Όμλ μ°νλ‘ μ€μΌμΉλ₯Ό ν ν, λμ§νΈ μμ μ ν΅νμ¬ μ±μνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ°νμ λλ‘μ μ§κ°μ μ’μνκΈ° λλ¬Έμ κ·Έκ²μ μ΅λν μ΄λ¦΄ μ μλ μ±μλ²μ λν΄ κ³ λ―Όνμμ΅λλ€. λλ¬Έμ μ°νλ‘ μ€μΌμΉν ν, ν¬ν μ΅μ νμ©νμ¬ μ΅λν μ°νμ λλμ μ΄λ € μ±μνκ² λμμ΅λλ€. μμ¦μ μμμ κ³Ό λμ§νΈ μμ μ μ μ ν μ‘°νλ₯Ό μν΄ κ³ λ―Όνκ³ μμ΅λλ€.4. What is your artistic process like?I read my favorite books or watch movies. Sometimes I take pictures. I look up lots of reference materials. I like to watch many old and beautiful things. When an image pops up in my mind, and I make a small, rough sketch and then draw based on it. I draw with a pencil and color it on Photoshop. μ’μνλ μ± μ μ½κ±°λ μνλ₯Ό λ΄ λλ€. μ¬μ§μ μ°κΈ°λ ν©λλ€. λ§μ μλ£λ₯Ό μ°Ύμλ΄ λλ€. μ€λλκ³ μλ¦λ€μ΄ 물건λ€μ 보λ κ²μ μ’μν©λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ λ¬Έλ λ μ€λ₯΄λ μ΄λ―Έμ§κ° μμΌλ©΄ μκ² μ€μΌμΉν΄ κΈ°λ‘νκ³ κ·Έκ²μ ν λλ‘ κ·Έλ¦½λλ€. μ°νλ‘ μ€μΌμΉλ₯Ό νκ³ ν¬ν μ΅μΌλ‘ μ±μν©λλ€.5. Who and/or what inspires your work?Recently, Iβm searching for something that can inspire my work among those in nature. I guess my mother who loves flowers had an influence on me, so I like things like plants, the moon, night times and rainbows. Iβm particularly fond of pictures that feature the moon. I think the moon is a good subject matter to express a βstrangeβ image. μ΅κ·Όμλ μμ°μ κ²λ€μ μ΄ν΄λ³΄λ μ€μ λλ€. κ½μ μ¬λνμλ μ ν¬ μ΄λ¨Έλμ μν₯μ λ§μ΄ λ°μ κ² κ°μμ. μλ¬Όλ€κ³Ό λ¬, ꡬλ¦, νλ, 무μ§κ° λ±μ μμ¬λ€μ μ’μν©λλ€. νΉν λ¬μ μμ¬λ‘ ν κ·Έλ¦Όμ μ’μν©λλ€. λ¬μ βλ―μ β μ΄λ―Έμ§λ₯Ό νννκΈ°μ μ μ ν μμ¬λΌκ³ μκ°ν©λλ€.6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?Iβve drawn pictures since I was a little child. Drawing pictures is a natural thing for me. Whenever I was asked about my dream, I always answered I want to become an βartistβ. Whenever I come across something, I always think of how I can apply this in my drawings. κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그리λ κ²μ μ΄λ Έμ λλΆν° μμ°μ€λ½κ² μ ν΄μμ΅λλ€. κΏμ λν΄ μ§λ¬Έμ λ°μ λλ©΄ μ μ λλ΅μ νμ βκ·Έλ¦Ό 그리λ μ¬λβμ΄μμ΅λλ€. νμ 무μμ΄λ μ ν λ μ΄λ»κ² κ·Έλ¦Όμ νμ©ν μ μμμ§ μκ°νκ² λ©λλ€.![]() 7.

My dream is to become prolific in painting and writing. κΎΈμ€ν κ·Έλ¦Ό μμ μ νλ μκ°κ° λκ³ μΆμ΅λλ€. κΈλ μ°κ³ μΆκ³ μ. μ κ·Έλ¦Όκ³Ό μ κΈμ΄ ν¨κ» νμΌλ©΄ μ’κ² μ΅λλ€. λ€μνλ μκ°κ° κΏμ λλ€.10. What do you hope to achieve with your art?Iβve always been comforted by paintings and I wish my paintings can comfort others, either. I wish my paintings can be like βrestingβ a while to them. μ λ κ·Έλ¦Όμ ν΅ν΄ νμ μλ‘λ₯Ό λ°μμκ³ , μ¬λλ€μκ² μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ΄ μλ‘κ° λμμΌλ©΄ ν©λλ€. μ κΉμ βμΌβ μΌλ‘μ¨ μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ΄ μ λ¬λμμΌλ©΄ νλ λ°λμ΄ μμ΅λλ€.![]() 11. Now, tell us a little more about you as a person: what is your favourite food?I love chocolates and coffee. I cannot even work without them (those containing caffeine). :) And I naturally love Korean dishes. μ λ μ΄μ½λ¦Ώκ³Ό 컀νΌλ₯Ό μ¬λν©λλ€. κ·Έκ²λ€(μΉ΄νμΈ)μ΄ μμΌλ©΄ μμ μ λͺ» ν©λλ€. :) κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ λΉμ°ν νμμ μ¬λν©λλ€.12. Favourite book?I like novels (especially Harry Potter), essays and especially fairy tales. I try to read many picture books. There is nothing more pleasant than appreciating the picture books of my favorite artists. When I travel somewhere, I surely drop by a bookstore in that area to buy some picture books. Itβs one of my biggest pleasures of traveling. I feel really grateful to my travel mates for always accompanying me in my βpicture-book toursβ. :) μμ€(νΉν ν΄λ¦¬ν¬ν°), μμΈμ΄ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ λνμ± μ νΉν μ’μν©λλ€. λ§μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ± μ 보기 μν΄ λ Έλ ₯νκ³ μμ΄μ. μ’μνλ μκ°λλ€μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ± μ κ°μνλ μΌλ³΄λ€ μ¦κ±°μ΄ κ²μ μμ κ±°μμ. μ¬νμ κ°λ©΄ κΌ μμ μ λ€λ¬ κ·Έλ¦Όμ± μ μ½λλ€. κ·Έκ²μ΄ μ¬νμ κ°μ₯ ν° μ¦κ±°μμ΄μμ. μ βκ·Έλ¦Όμ± νλ°©βμ μνμ¬ μ¬νμ§μμ νμ ν¨κ» μμ μ κ°μ£Όλ μΉκ΅¬μκ² μ λ§ κ³ λ§μ΅λλ€. :)13. Favourite genre of music?I like various kinds of music. I listen to k-pops, New Age music and classical music. I prefer calm and relaxing music. I like the original soundtracks of films, too. Recently Iβm into the original soundtrack of the Korean movie [The Beauty Inside, 2015]. λ€μν μμ μ μ’μν©λλ€. k popλ λ§μ΄ λ£κ³ λ΄μμ΄μ§, ν΄λμλ λ§μ΄ λ€μ΄μ. μ°¨λΆν μμ μ μ’μν©λλ€. μν ostλ λ§μ΄ λ£κ³ μμ΄μ. μ§κΈμ νκ΅ μν <λ·°ν° μΈμ¬μ΄λ (The Beauty Inside, 2015)>μ ostλ₯Ό λ£κ³ μμ΄μ.14. What are your hobbies?Iβve become even more into reading books since I purchased an e-book reader. The best part of the e-book reader is you can read at night without turning on the lights. I began to read [Harry Potter] series again even though Iβve read it countless times. Recently I read [The man who mistook his wife for a hat] written by Oliver Sacks. λͺ λ μ μ μ΄λΆ 리λκΈ°λ₯Ό μ° μ΄νλ‘ μ± μ½κΈ°μ λμ±λ νΉ λΉ μ‘μ΅λλ€. λ°€μ λΆμ μΌμ§ μμλ μ± μ μ½μ μ μλ€λ μ μ΄ μ μΌ μ’μμ. μ μ μμ΄ λ§μ΄ μ½μ <ν΄λ¦¬ν¬ν°> μ리μ¦λ₯Ό λ€μ μ½κΈ° μμνμ΄μ. μ΅κ·Όμλ μ¬λ¦¬λ² μμ€μ <μλ΄λ₯Ό λͺ¨μλ‘ μ°©κ°ν λ¨μ>λ₯Ό μ½κ³ μμ΅λλ€.15. If you weren't an artist, what would you be?I think I would write if I werenβt an artist. I have a dream of it even now and I wish I can give βcomfort to heartsβ of others through my writings and paintings someday. κΈμ μ°κ³ μμ§ μμκΉ μκ°ν©λλ€. μ§κΈλ κ·Έ κΏμ κ°κ³ μμΌλ©°, βλ§μμ μμβμ μ€ μ μλ κΈμ μ°κ³ , κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μΆμ΄μ.![]() ![]() Comments are closed.
