1. What's your story? Where are you from?Hello, my name is Yeni Kim and I am a paper artist based in Seoul, South Korea. I also work as an illustrator and art director. I enjoyed crafting and drawing since I was young and I am still devoted to creating and designing things that make our world beautiful. I recently created a craft studio named MARCH to leverage my experience in the field. I plan to work with talented artists on interesting projects like video and product development. λΉμ μ μ΄μΌκΈ°λ₯Ό λ€λ €μ£ΌμΈμ. μ΄λμ μλμ? μλ νμΈμ, μ λ νκ΅ μμΈμ μ΄κ³ μλ νμ΄νΌ μν°μ€νΈ Yeni Kim μ λλ€. νμ΄νΌ μν°μ€νΈ μΈμλ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°, μνΈλλ ν°λ‘λ νλνκ³ μμ΄μ. μ΄λ ΈμλλΆν° λ§λ€κ³ 그리λκ±Έ μ’μνκ³ , μ§κΈλ μ¬μ ν λ§λ€κ³ λμμΈνλ©° μΈμμ μλ¦λ΅κ² νλ κ²λ€μ λͺ°λνλ©° μ§λ΄κ³ μμ΄μ. μ΅κ·Όμλ κ·Έλμμ κ²½νμ λ°νμΌλ‘ MARCH λΌλ μ΄λ¦μ CRAFT STUDIOλ₯Ό λ§λ€μλλ°μ, μμΌλ‘λ κ° λΆμΌμ μ¬λ₯μλ μν°μ€νΈλ€κ³Όλ νμ νλ©΄μ μμμ΄λ μν κ°λ°μ²λΌ μ’ λ λ€μνκ³ μ¬λ―Έμλ νλ‘μ νΈλ₯Ό ν΄λ³Ό μμ μ΄μμ.![]() 2. Tell us about your aesthetic.My studio focuses on work pieces that embody the feeling of warmth. I use warm and robust colors that help me create heart-warming stories through my art. To achieve this, I work on a manual hand cutting method which can seem a bit erratic, but it ultimately delivers a very human and sensory message. As a next step, I would like to work on humorous and playful art pieces that can be more approachable without looking serious or formal. λΉμ μ λ―Ένμ λν΄ λ€λ €μ£ΌμΈμ. μμμ μκ°ν μ μ μ€νλμ€ μ΄λ¦μ²λΌ(3μ) μ λ λ°λ»ν λ΄κ³Ό κ°μ μμ μ μΆκ΅¬νκ³ μμ΄μ. λ°λ»νλ©΄μλ λ€μ±λ‘μ΄ μ»¬λ¬λ€μ μ’μνκ³ , κ·Έ μμλ κ·μ½κ³ λ°λ»ν μ€ν λ¦¬κ° λ΄κ²¨μλκ²μ μ’μν΄μ. κ·Έλμ μ‘°κΈ μλ«μ§λ§ μΈκ°μ μ΄κ³ κ°μ±μ΄ λκ»΄μ§λ νΈλμ»·ν λ°©μ (μμμ )μΌλ‘ μμ νκ³ μλ΅λλ€. λ무 μ§μ§νκ³ μ¬μ€ν μμ 보λ€λ, λꡬμκ²λ νΈμνκ² λ€κ°κ° μ μκ³ λ³΄κ³ μμΌλ©΄ νΌμ μμμ΄ λλ μ λ¨Έλ¬μ€ν μμ μ νκ³ μΆμ΄μ.3. What is your favorite medium and why?Currently our main material is paper. We create three-dimensional artwork by treating paper with various techniques. I started out my career as an illustrator who painted with color pencils, but I always struggled to find my own new and fresh work style. One day, I drew on a piece of paper and added dimension to it by cutting it out. I felt that this gave life to the drawing that was trapped inside one dimension. I was fascinated by the charm of space and sense of depth after this discovery and eventually developed my current work style. There are many reasons why I chose paper as my material. I liked the familiarity of paper, its ability to transform into infinite shapes, and the light solidness of it. Better yet paper comes in countless colors and I often start experimenting with colors when I want to generate a new idea. λΉμ μ΄ κ°μ₯ μ’μνλ μμ ν΄μ 무μμΈκ°μ? μ΄μ λμ? νμ¬ μ μ λ©μΈ μμ¬λ βμ’ μ΄β μ λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κ·Έ μ’ μ΄λ₯Ό μ¬λ¬κ°μ§ λ°©μμΌλ‘ λ€λ£¨μ΄ βμ 체μ μΈβ μνΈμμ λ§λ€κ³ μμ΄μ. μ¬μ€ μ²μμλ μμ°νλ‘ κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그리λ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°λ‘ μμμ νμλλ° λ μλ‘κ³ μ μ ν μ λ§μ μμ λ°©μμ λν κ³ λ―Όμ΄ μμμ΄μ. κ·Έλ¬λ μ΄λλ μ’ μ΄μ κ·Έλ¦° κ·Έλ¦Όμ μ€λ € μ 체 ννλ‘ λ§λ€μ΄λ³΄μλλ° νλ©΄μμ κ°νμλ κ·Έλ¦Όλ€μ΄ λ§μΉ μ΄μ μμ§μ΄λ λ―ν λλμ λ°μμ΄μ. κ·Έ λ€λ‘ 곡κ°κ°κ³Ό μ 체κ°μ΄ μ£Όλ 맀λ ₯μ νΉ λΉ μ Έ μ§κΈμ μμ λ°©μμΌλ‘ λ°μ νκ² λμμ΅λλ€. μ’ μ΄λ₯Ό μ ννκ² λ κ³κΈ°λ μ¬λ¬κ°μ§κ° μλλ°μ, μ μκ² λ§€μ° μΉμν μμ¬μ΄λ©΄μ 무κΆλ¬΄μ§ν ννλ‘ λ³μ μ΄ κ°λ₯νλ€λμ , κ°λ²Όμ°λ©΄μλ κ²¬κ³ νλ€λ μ μ΄ λ§μμ λ€μμ΄μ. λ μλ¦λ΅κ³ λ€μν 컬λ¬λ€μ΄ μμ΄ μμ΄λμ΄κ° λ μ€λ₯΄μ§ μμλλ μ’ μ΄μ 컬λ¬λΆν° μ μ ν λλ μλ΅λλ€.4. What is your artistic process like?When I get an idea in mind, I start with sketches, drawings, or simply start cutting. Next step is the stereoscopic process, which takes the most time and effort and is the hardest part of the entire workflow. Consequently, I go through a shoot at the studio and process the color correction on a computer as a final step. λΉμ μ μμ μ μ°½μ κ³Όμ μ μ΄λ»κ² λλμ? μμ΄λμ΄κ° λ μ€λ₯΄λ©΄ μ€μΌμΉλ₯Ό νκ±°λ λλ©΄μ λ§λ€κ³ , λλ‘λ κ·Έλ₯ μ¦ν₯μ μΌλ‘ μ’ μ΄λ₯Ό μ€λ €λκ°κΈ°λ ν΄μ. κ·Έ λ€μ μ 체 μμ μ κ°μ₯ λ§μ μκ°κ³Ό λ Έλ ₯μ λ€μ΄λλ°, μ 체 νλ‘μΈμ€ μ€μ κ°μ₯ νλ κ³Όμ μ΄λλλ€. μ 체 μμ μ΄ μμ±λλ©΄ μ€νλμ€μ κ°μ 촬μμ νκ³ , μ»΄ν¨ν°λ‘ μκ° λ³΄μ κ°μ νλ°μμ μ κ±°μ³ μ΅μ’ μμ±μ΄ λ©λλ€.5.

What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?Everything in my daily life seems to be connected to art. My artwork always lingers in my head and I search for places that bring me inspiration every day. As an artist I canβt be fully satisfied with the quality of products or restaurants if they donβt visually appeal to me. μμ μ λΉμ μ μΆμμ μ΄λ€ μν μ νλμ? κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ λΉμ μ΄ μΈμμ 보λ κ΄μ μ μ΄λ€ λ³νλ₯Ό μ£Όλμ? μ κ°μ κ²½μ°μλ λͺ¨λ μΌμμ΄ μμ κ³Ό μ°κ²°λμ΄ μλ κ² κ°μμ. λ¨Έλ¦Ώμμ νμ μμ μ λν μκ°μ΄ 맴λκ³ μκ³ , μΌμμμλ λ μκ°μ μ£Όλ κ³³μ μ°Ύμ λ€λ μ. μ무λλ μμ μ νλ€λ³΄λ μ무리 μ’μ μνμ΄λ λ§μ§μ΄λλΌλ λ―Έμ μΈ λΆλΆμ΄ μΆ©μ‘±λμ§ μμΌλ©΄ μ λ§μ‘±μ λͺ»νλ νΈμ΄μμ. λ μ λ§νΌ μμκΈ΄ λ¨μλ₯Ό λ΄λ ν° κ°ν₯μ΄ μλ€λμ§, νΌμ μμ΄λ μ΄κ²μ κ² κ΄μ°°νκ³ μκ°νλλΌ μ¬μ¬νμ§κ° μλ€λμ§.. κ·Έλ¬κ³ 보λ μμ μ΄ μ μΈμμ ν° μν₯μ λΌμΉκ³ μμκ΅°μ!![]() 7.

What do you hope to achieve with your art?Once someone told me that they could feel that I grew up in a loving environment after seeing my artwork. I didnβt think about it until then but after hearing this comment a few times I realized that I am very loved and am cared for by people around me. There is an adage that says that love can only be shared by someone who was loved. If our society continues this positive trend, I want to contribute to it and share back the love I have received through my artwork. I see it as my mission to contribute to society by creating a lot of heartwarming art. λΉμ μ μμ λ‘ λ¬΄μμ μ±μ·¨νκ³ μΆμκ°μ? μΈμ κ° μ μμ μ λ³΄κ³ μ¬λμ λ§μ΄ λ°κ³ μλ μ¬λ κ°λ€λ μκΈ°λ₯Ό ν΄μ€ λΆμ΄ μμμ΄μ. κ·Έμ κΉμ§λ νΉλ³ν κ·Έλ° μκ°μ νμ§ λͺ»νλλ° κ·Έ λ€λ‘ μ¬λ¬λ² κ°μ μκΈ°λ₯Ό λ£κ³ λμ μ κ° μ£Όλ³ μ¬λλ€μκ² κ·Έλμ λ§μ μ¬λκ³Ό κ΄μ¬μ λ°μλ€λκ±Έ κΉ¨λ¬μμ£ . λκ΅°κ°μκ² μ¬λμ λ°μλ³Έ μ¬λλ§μ΄ λ λ€λ₯Έμ¬λμκ² μ¬λμ λ² ν μ μλ€κ³ νμμμ. κ·Έλ κ² κ³μν΄μ μ¬νκ° μ νκ² νλ¬κ° μ μλ€λ©΄ μ λν μ κ° λ°μμ¨ λ°λ»ν μ¬λμ μμ μ ν΅ν΄ μ¬νμ λ€μ μ λ¬νκ³ μΆμ΄μ. μμ§ λΆμ‘±ν μ μ΄ λ§μ§λ§, μμΌλ‘ λ°λ»ν μν₯λ ₯μ μ€ μ μλ μμ μ λ§μ΄ ν΄μ μ¬νμ μ‘°κΈμ΄λλ§ λ³΄ν¬μ΄ λλ μ¬λμ΄ λκ³ μΆμ΅λλ€.![]() 11.

I think that living space is very important and interior designers have a fantastic job because they get to design beautiful living spaces for people. For the time being, I am learning the ropes of interior design as a hobby, but one day I want to not only design my own place but also help my friends design theirs as well. λ§μ½ λΉμ μ΄ μν°μ€νΈκ° μλμλ€λ©΄ μ΄λ€ μΌμ νμκΉμ? μΈν 리μ΄λμμ΄λ. μ¬λμκ² λ¨Έλ¬΄λ 곡κ°μ΄ λ§€μ° μ€μνλ€κ³ μκ°νλλ°μ, μλ¦λ΅κ³ λ¨Έλ¬Όκ³ μΆμ 곡κ°μ κΈ°ννλ μΈν λ¦¬μ΄ λμμ΄λλ μ λ§ λ©μ§ μ§μ κ°μμ. μ§κΈμ κ·Έλ₯ μ·¨λ―Έμ²λΌ μλ£λ₯Ό μμ§νκ³ μμ§λ§ μΈμ κ° μ€λ ₯μ΄ μμ΄λ©΄ μ 곡κ°λΏ μλλΌ μ§μΈμ 곡κ°κΉμ§ λ©μ§κ² κΎΈλ©°μ£Όκ³ μΆλ€μ!![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Comments are closed.
