About

I originally studied graphic design, before gravitating to a career as an illustrator. I have 7 years of experience as a Graphic Designer (creating brands visual identity, signs, advertisements… within the teams of the biggest Korean department store company, Lotte Department) and 8 years of experience as an Illustrator (making visual contents for books, magazines, album covers, exhibitions…)

I’m born in Busan where I was surrounded with the numerous vivid and dynamic colours of the beaches, waves, fishes, trees, sunset, sunrise, … These elements are my core artistic influences.

I enjoy the flow of watercolor on paper and the scratch sound of pens. Consequently, I work mainly with watercolor, pen and mixed media, combining hand-drawn elements with a digital finish. My favorite things to draw are Paris cityscapes : cafe, vintage items, buildings, sculptures… 

Also I like to explore Paris while recording what I experience, bringing pens, papers and a camera. By doing this, I absorb French cultures that are far from my Korean background, and which helps me to better understand Paris.

In my spare time, I give drawing lessons to students. Their attitude and motivation give me greats feedbacks and energy I use in my art.
