Interview 

Seungeun Suh (aka HIBISCUS) 

Describe your path to becoming an illustrator. 

I have been fascinated at drawing a picture 

since ten years. At the age of 15, attracted 

by the charm of Korean paper, I decided to 

become a painter who paints Korean paintings. 

After that, he entered Gyeongbuk High School 

and entered the Oriental Painting Department 

of Keimyung University. 

After graduation, I worked as a curator of art 

museums and art schools. I have been a fulltime 

artist for over 10 years. 

You do have a very distinct, recognizable style. 

My work is a Korean painting that is combined 

with western style. It looks unique to many 

people because it shows an image in western 

style, using Korean traditional painting skill that 

uses watercolor on the ‘Hanji’ 

Tell me about the first time you considered 

art as an actual career. 

My first exhibition is the group exhibition, which 

was organized by alumni in 2006. 

Tell me about where you grew up and 

how your childhood influenced your ideas 

about creativity 

I was born in a rural village. 

So I spent my childhood in nature, and the 

unfortunate at that time that had come to my 

home affected my early works. 

Nevertheless, I still like the trees, flowers, 

and animals that actually inspired me, and I 

always tell stories about hopes, dreams, and 

inscriptions through my works. 

Can you talk about your formative years 

as an artist? 

It is 2009. From that time, for three years I did not 

come out of the studio to the outside world. 

In it, I spent time building my own world and left 

many experimental works. And I informed my work 

to the world through internet. 

What motivates you as an artist? 

I decided to become a professional artist when 

my work was stolen in college. 

It was my satisfaction that someone liked my 

works that much. 

‘My Ruby, 2016’ 



Interview 


Did you have any mentors along the way? 

None. If it is, I am myself. 

It is my own that is constantly in conflict. 

What is important to the artist is the technique 

that creativity and novelty are added to. 

I always feel attracted to myself and try to make 

something new for myself. 

Are your family and friends supportive of 

what you do? 

No family or friends supported my path from 

the beginning. 

My acquaintances began to recognize me as my 

painting became known to the public. 

Now I am supported by everyone around me. 

What advice would you give to a person 

starting out? 

The job of an artist is like a marathon. 

I would like to suggest that you get used to the 

life in the workshop and overcome the fight 

against loneliness. 

How does where you live to impact 

your creativity? 

I spend most of my time staring at the paintings 

in my studio, and most of my imaginations and 

experiments are done in my studio. 

There are more than 100 kinds of succulent 

plants in my workshop. 

Sometimes ideas come to mind when I rest in 

mountains and fields.

Interview 


Do you have a favorite book? 

I like ‘Walden’, which includes the story that the 

main character lives alone in nature. 

Who is your role model? 

Frida Kahlo is my role model. I do not like her 

style, but I like her truthfulness, which puts her 

honest life in her paintings. 

What was the best advice given to you 

as an artist? 

Even if people look at my works 100 times, 

make them fascinated at my works! 

What is your dream project? 

I want everyone in the world to recognize my 

work. I will show my unique works of art in 

galleries around the world. 

Is there anything you want to do in the 

next 2 years? 

My 14th solo exhibition will be held at KIDARI 

GALLERY in April. 

I plan to participate in a foreign art fair next year 

by starting my artwork essay book publication 

in China around this fall this year.

“Happy Flower” became a motif of all my works painted in 2015, and the world’s first series of works 

called “Succulent Plants Girl” was born, which is more philosophically evolved. I was greatly admired 

by them. 

It is the work of infusing dreams, hopes, and courage to overcome adversity to the tired people of 

modern society by adding ecologically robust succulent plants to emotional, dreamy girl characters.

karen 

aka KIKI 

caruana 

Karen Caruana aka Kiki is a fine artist and 

illustrator based in Malta. She has been 

fascinated with visual imagery, color, and 

texture, since a very young age. This passion 

has led her to dedicate herself to the study 

of Fine Art in 2001. She has since been fully 

dedicated to developing her art with a 

particular focus on painting. 

For Karen, painting has always been her way of 

reaching out to her subconscious in a quest to 

understand her intuitive desires and longings 

while at the same time communicating her 

feelings and visualizations to the people 

around her. In her exploration of new methods 

and techniques, visual art has allowed Karen 

to become aware of her own personal growth. 

She is currently working on developing a solo 

exhibition for the near future.

The Sculpture of 


To be awake is to strive to have insight, 

to gain an accurate and deep intuitive 

understanding of our world, in essence to 

see the truth without illusions. Being awake 

and having insight is also seeing the world 

around us as interconnected and that we 

are part of nature, not separate from it. 

Being awake is an ongoing process, 

like an unfolding story. All of my work 

unfolds like a story because I start with 

a group of observations, feelings, and 

ideas from my interests in comparative 

mythology, psychology and nature, and 

I don’t know the end until I am finished. 

When I have completed a sculpture, I feel 

like I have integrated all of the conscious 

and unconscious things in my head into 

one, and that I have a gained a deeper 

understanding and more insight into life. 

My appreciation and concern for nature 

comes through in all my work, especially 

my concern over what we do to nature, 

because I believe that what we do to nature, 

we also do to ourselves. I try to show this 

interconnectedness by fusing insects, 

animals and humans together to literally 

show that our fates are tied together.

Interviews The Guide Artists 

Julie 

Morin 

Let love be King 

Interview by Ramón A. Olivares 

Julie Morin is a freelance painter from France who 

is now based in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. 

After graduating from a Business School and 

working a few years in Marketing, she got sick and 

had to stop working for a few years. This event 

helped her to rethink her priorities and realize that 

being an artist was the only thing that mattered 

to her. She is now undergoing a big life change, 

from Marketer expert to freelance artist with big 

dreams and ambitions. 

Today her oil paintings embody strong and 

powerful female figures portrayed in dreamy and 

fantastical surroundings, with a connection to 

nature that she finds very important. Julie also 

uses acrylic colors on her abstracts to showcase 

vibrant artworks with bright and flashy colors. 


‘Abalone, 2017’ 

Oil on canvas

Interview Julie Morin 

Let’s dive in at the beginning of your story. 

Tell me about where you grew up and what 

your childhood was like. 

I was born in Paris but grew up in the South 

of France on the French Riviera. When I was 

in high school I literally spent my afternoons 

after class at the beach, so it wasn’t bad at all! 

I grew up with a sister and two loving parents. 

I had everything I could dream of. I took my 

first painting class when I was 4 years old, and 

also practiced Ballet and the piano for 8 years. 

Everything was perfect, until the day I lost my 

little sister to a drunk driver on new year’s eve. 

That day my world collapsed, and it took me 

years to accept the fact that she was gone. When 

it happened, I was barely an adult, and I had 

to run away to still enjoy my youth and put this 

aside as it was too painful to deal with. I entered 

a Business School, forgot about art for a lot of 

years and traveled the world for my studies. 

Describe your path to becoming an artist. 

The Business School I attended wasn’t the 

best part of my life. I met wonderful people 

there, who are still my dear friends, but for the 

rest, I was bored and felt like I didn’t belong 

there. Nevertheless, I did not listen to my 

feelings and started working in Marketing in 

big multinational companies, selling products 

that I did not believe in. I guess I pushed my 

body too far for too long because one day I fell 

ill and had to stop all activity. They diagnosed 

me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also called 

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. I was stuck at home, 

incapable of doing anything, and suddenly I felt 

this huge creativity imploding inside of me that 

needed to get out. So I took a paintbrush and 

started painting, exactly 10 months ago. 



Can you talk about your formative years 

as an artist? 

I only became an artist very recently. I didn’t 

attend any art school, just taught myself with 

tutorials online and a lot of practice. 

Was creativity a part of your childhood? 

Always, yes. I remember that I couldn’t wait for 

my art classes - we only had 1 hour per week. 

They were my favorite. I also won a poem contest 

when I was 9 and I always loved photography. 

What motivates you as an artist? 

The motivation I have for painting is the many 

rewards it gives me. I feel so many emotions during 

the whole process, and it’s always a new challenge. 

I have all these colors and possibilities in my head 

and it’s like a game to put them on my canvas. 

Did you have any mentors along the way? 

No, not really. Nobody in my family or friends 

is in fine arts. I’m quite a “help yourself” type 

of girl, always teaching myself and watching/ 

reading plenty of information on subjects I 

find interesting. 

‘Golden Her, 2016’

90 | April 2017

Why are you so passionate about the portrait? 

Now that you say it, it’s true that I meanly do 

portraits, interesting! I guess I’m attracted to 

strong personalities and to me a face can say 

a million things. I see people’s souls in their 

eyes, their expression, their smile… 

Are your family and friends supportive of 

what you do? 

My partner has been extremely supportive since 

day 1. I’m so thankful that he is there to help me 

and support me. My family on the other hand… 

well, it’s a bit complicated, because they financed 

my first education and now I am telling them that 

I am taking a very different path. But I know that 

they will always approve my decisions in the end. 

What advice would you give to a person 

starting out? 

Well, I am kind of starting out myself! But I would 

say, don’t follow the rules too much. Art is about 

your own expression, and if for you drawing a circle 

means representing a square, then go for it. As long 

as you speak the truth in your art, there is no wrong. 

Are you creatively satisfied? 

Yes, very. I can only paint 1 hour a day because 

of my disability, but I use the rest of the time to 

make new projects. My head is constantly filled 

with new possibilities and colors. Sometimes, I 

even wake up at night because so many ideas 

are rushing in my head, and I can’t sleep until 

there are all down on paper! 


Interview Julie Morin

‘Tango, 2017’ 

Oil on canvas


What is your favorite genre of music to listen 

to while painting? 

At the beginning I was listening to Ludovico 

Einaudi a lot, it was so soothing and helped 

increase my creativity at lot. Now I can listen 

to various artists, from Mumford & Sons to 

Jain, or even simply sounds of nature which I 

find very relaxing. 

Do you have a favorite book? 

Yes. I am a fan of heroic fantasy and my favorite 

books are from French writer Pierre Botero “La 

Quete d’Ewilan”. They have guided me through 

all these years. They helped me understand the 

world and have a more positive approach to it. 

One of the main characters in these books is a 

very strong and independent woman, with noble 

values and a deep connection to nature. There is 

a bit of her character in all my paintings. 



Who is your role model? 

I am inspired by a lot of different people, I like 

to have eclectic taste, it always feeds creativity 

and difference. I loved Enki Bilal when I was 

growing up (I guess it was my nonconformist side 

then). A little bit later I discovered the works of 

Kandinsky and Klimt. As a modern artist, I love 

Charmaine Olivia (my work is very inspired by 

her) and Brittany Lee Howard whose abstracts 

truly impress me. 

What was the best advice given to you 

as an artist? Don’t give up. 

What is your dream project? 

I would love to have my own studio, where I 

could paint all day and do some photo work 

as well. I would also love to help the homeless 

people, a project that could be called “Art for 

a roof”. You would buy a piece of art for your 

home and at the same time, a part of the 

earnings would go to a charity which allows 

homeless people to eat and sleep for a while. 

How beautiful would that be? It’s something very 

dear to my heart, and I don’t know if it will ever 

go from project to reality, but I keep hoping that 

someday it will.

About The Autor 

Ryu Oyama 

Born on January 22, 1977. Hobby is to paint from 

childhood and to shape with clay. I was shocked by 

the movie ‘Godzilla vs Biolante’ when I was in the 

first grade of junior high school, and for the first time 

I created a monster figure by clay. Started producing 

prototype garage kit, figure in full swing. 

After leaving the university, he debuted as a prototype 

garage kit at the age of 21. The name will gradually 

penetrate gradually in the monster & creature type 

modeling world. Even now it continues to actively 

shape a wide range of genres such as creative 3D works 

and character figures, and is supported by many fans.
