Hana-Limited Edition 1 of 10 - Limited Edition of 10 Artwork

Hi, I am Okbi. I was born and raised in Korea. Okbi is my artist name, by the way. I don't like my real name as it's a bit common in Korea. As common as Becky in the English speaking world, I guess.I majored in fine art and usually paint with my iPad. The big reason being that Korea is kind of small, and the rent is high. So I tend to work with my iPad since I lack the place to store lots of materials. Until last year, I was obsessed with so-called contemporary art, critical toward discriminations against those marginalized in Korean society. Then I met people who worked on such art while not knowing a reason why Sewol Ferry disaster happened; and also those who didn't even know why the South Korean president was impeached. I became doubtful, and these days I tend to focus on works that are more personal. I wouldn't bring out my personal "dark past," however. I had enough chance to work with my past in college. Furthermore, I believe art should be beautiful, not dark.
