Artlaon is my work space as a Korean traditional painting artist and surface pattern designer.
‘Laon’ is a Korean word with the meaning of pleasant and happy, and it is my artist name, meaning the joy of painting.
Inspired by the techniques and motifs of traditional painting with modern Korean aesthetics,
I am engaged in work and design activities that can be enjoyed in everyday life.
