Big goals can feel like trying to reach the top rung of a long ladder. If climbing all the way seems daunting, make the steps smaller and more accessible by reducing the distance between them. Never doubt the path you are passionate about, and keep moving forward. Small, consistent steps have always proven effective and are a sure way to reach our goals.

Be confident with your artwork. Every piece of art is worth submitting. Have faith in each piece that you create. Prepare yourself to evolve each and every day. Never be prideful to the point where you cannot grow. Expand your knowledge and skills in different mediums and areas.

Paint what you love most, even if it's not painting but some other art form; express what you love the most and keep doing it until you feel everything you possibly can with it. Then start again and again, and do not stop.

    My advice is to never stop exploring and questioning. Art is a dynamic process, and only by being curious and creative can you push the boundaries and reach new heights in your practice.

My dear friends and fellow artists, I urge you to never stop creating, even in the hardest days of your life. Create, because this world is more beautiful with you and your art.

To me the eggshells represent the inseparable nature of strength and weakness, a balance of positive and negative, and a celebration of the humble and unrecognized. Working on eggshells is an exercise in controlled tension, where getting to completion without cracking up is the puzzle to be solved.

But the actual creation of art is the true reward of being an artist. The flow state is where you can let go of everything else, allowing yourself to play and experiment.

My advice would be to never stop learning, exploring and experimenting. Art is a continuous process of discovery, and the constant evolution of style and technique is what keeps creativity alive. Don't be afraid to take risks and face your fears; Often the greatest advances occur outside our comfort zone.

The beauty of the world is ever-present, to be experienced in the here and now. It is an honor to exist in this world, surrounded by the wonders of nature. As humans, we cannot overlook our profound interconnectedness with nature. To ensure a sustainable future, it is imperative that we strive to preserve our planet and its inhabitants.

Enjoy creating. Always be open to experimentation and never stop learning. Mixed media offers endless possibilities; embrace the challenges and let your creativity guide you. Stay true to your artistic vision and be persistent in pursuing your goals. Art is a journey of discovery, both of the world and of oneself, so enjoy every step along the way.

My advice to fellow artists is, never stop creating. Life will inevitably present moments where other events take precedence, like the birth of a child or a demanding job. During such times, it’s okay to slow down, but don’t stop completely.

With my new art, I hope to highlight the beauty in our shared human experiences and emotions. I hope my artwork brings a smile to the audience and is a beacon of peace.

My advice to fellow artists is simple yet profound: Paint what makes you happy. There's a popular saying in Korea that encapsulates the essence of this philosophy: “A genius cannot beat someone who works hard, someone who works hard cannot beat someone who enjoys it, and someone who enjoys it cannot beat a crazy person (driven by passion).”

Never stop practicing and honing your skills. Continuous practice not only enhances your abilities but also overcomes obstacles in your creative process. Diverse skill development is essential for artistic growth.

Paint for yourself. Paint what inspires you, not what you think you should be painting or what you think people want or what you think might sell. Not only will you get lost, but the thing that you thought would sell, might not sell and you’ll be forced to look at it, gathering dust in the corner of your studio, like the ghost at the feast.

Be patient with yourself, there will always be life circumstances that will take time away from your art. But if you are dedicated to your practice and vision, the fruits of your labor will come one way or another. And your accomplishments will not happen how you imagine it. Perhaps it’ll be much better and humbling. I’m still learning that as well.

No one is an overnight success. Always learning, always growing. Bamboo takes 2 years to grow a root system, then when the time is right, it can grow up to 10cm a day. Artistry requires patience and persistence. My advice to fellow artists is to stay committed to your craft, keep honing your skills, and be persistent.

Finding your tribe of artists can be incredibly beneficial. You can start by following artists you admire on social media, learning from their experiences, and even attending their workshops to gain insights into their process.

The artistic journey is a deeply personal and evolving process, but it all starts with your initiative. Especially when you're just beginning, every step you take fuels your growth and opens new possibilities. Keep pushing forward, don’t wait for luck or for anyone to offer or give you some opportunities.

The best advice is to believe in what you do and not lose heart if the results don't arrive immediately. A lot of perseverance and willpower goes into this job.
