Naim Kim | Ceramic Artist
저의 예술적 여정은 과거의 아름다움에서 받은 영감을 바탕으로 다양한 세라믹 오브제를 만드는 데 중점을 둡니다.
과거의 공예와 예술작품이 사람들에게 미친 영향과 그 시기의 문화적 깊이를 탐구하며, 전통과 현대를 잇는 작업을 추구합니다.
작업은 색상과 질감의 실험을 통해 전통적인 기법을 현대적인 시각으로 풀어내며, 색과 색의 배합을 실험하는 과정을 즐깁니다.
우리는 모두 그 나라의 전통 혹은 문화와 깊이 연결되어 있으며, 그 연결이 저에게 큰 의미를 부여합니다. 작업의 특징은 독특한 색상과 질감을 사용하는 것입니다. 다양한 재료와 기법을 통해 전통 도예의 범위를 확장하는 작업을 즐깁니다. 전통적인 수공예의 고유한 특성과 인간미를 현대적인 기법에 접목시켜, 작품에 개성과 깊이를 더하고자 합니다. 손끝으로 느끼는 재료의 감각과 직접적인 작업을 통해 사람들과 감정적으로 소통하며, 일상에 기쁨과 영감을 선사할 수 있기를 바랍니다.
My artistic journey is all about creating different objects inspired by the beauty of the past. I look at how past crafts and artworks have affected people and explore the deep cultural meaning of those times, trying to mix tradition with modern ideas. My work focuses on playing with color and texture, bringing traditional techniques into a more current style. I enjoy experimenting with color combinations and textures, discovering new feelings and visual effects through the process.
We are all closely connected to tradition, and this connection means a lot to me. One of the main features of my work is using unique colors and textures. I enjoy pushing the limits of traditional ceramics by experimenting with different materials and techniques. By mixing traditional craftsmanship with modern methods, I try to give my work individuality and depth. Working directly with materials lets me connect with others emotionally and bring joy and inspiration into their everyday lives.
