Interview<br />

Seungeun Suh (aka HIBISCUS)<br />

Did you have any mentors along the way?<br />

None. If it is, I am myself.<br />

It is my own that is constantly in conflict.<br />

What is important to the artist is the technique<br />

that creativity and novelty are added to.<br />

I always feel attracted to myself and try to make<br />

something new for myself.<br />

Are your family and friends supportive of<br />

what you do?<br />

No family or friends supported my path from<br />

the beginning.<br />

My acquaintances began to recognize me as my<br />

painting became known to the public.<br />

Now I am supported by everyone around me.<br />

What advice would you give to a person<br />

starting out?<br />

The job of an artist is like a marathon.<br />

I would like to suggest that you get used to the<br />

life in the workshop and overcome the fight<br />

against loneliness.<br />

How does where you live to impact<br />

your creativity?<br />

I spend most of my time staring at the paintings<br />

in my studio, and most of my imaginations and<br />

experiments are done in my studio.<br />

There are more than 100 kinds of succulent<br />

plants in my workshop.<br />

Sometimes ideas come to mind when I rest in<br />

mountains and fields.<br />
