Between the Clay and the Hand

When the potter’s wheel stops, Kyungran’s story begins anew in a different form.

Inspired by Minhwa—traditional Korean folk painting rich with symbols of longevity, luck, and prosperity—her drawings transition from the warmth of clay to the stillness of paper, carrying the same tactile intimacy.

Borrowing from Haeyak, the essence of Korean art that transforms life’s hardships into lighthearted humor and wit, the artist portrays everyday objects through a lens of deep affection. From tigers that ward off misfortune to magpies that deliver joyful news, these ancient motifs are reborn as modern guardians for our daily lives through her clear palette and delicate brushwork.

This art print collection, curated by Atelier Sey, is more than mere decoration. It is a warm message of blessing—a wish for your home to be a sanctuary where you nurture and love yourself through the gentle power of art.
