About The Artwork
This is a Korean folk painting styled artwork named “Minhwa”. Minhwa in general was appreciated among commoners, bearing a meaning as a good luck charm. Such as having lots of babies, or wealth. Especially regarding this painting, it means “success through studying.” This painting has captured the moment in which a carp jumps out of the ocean to become a dragon. In the past, people believed three things in painting(sunrise, ocean, fish) could make the owner succeed. My mom is an artist who paints traditional Korean paintings professionally. I’ve learned from her about these and got acquainted with them well. I’ve reinterpreted it in digital way so people could easily have this lucky artwork. I believe that even though it’s printed, it might have a power to make you success. Don’t frame it, or use the image as your digital screen wallpaper, because the glass won’t let the good luck out.

South Korea
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.
