"Hello, I'm Gajee, an artist who reinterprets Korean traditional culture through digital painting, creating contemporary interpretations of our cultural heritage."

What resolutions have you made for the new year? This year, I aim to embrace new challenges. My goal is to summon the courage to try unfamiliar and novel experiences. I hope your days ahead are filled with moments of happiness and success as you embark on new beginnings!

I often work with natural backgrounds reminiscent of mountains rich in verdant growth. The abundance of green in these diverse natural landscapes conveys a sense of tranquility to viewers. Much like the figures enjoying leisure amid nature in traditional landscape paintings, I often create my works hoping that viewers will feel themselves becoming one with nature, finding comfort and warmth within the pieces.

I strive to capture traditional culture through elements such as clothing, props, and landscapes. I hope viewers discover the unique beauty inherent in traditional culture and take the time to interpret these traditions from their perspective. This aspiration aligns perfectly with Amorepacific's pursuit of a healthy and fulfilling life through one’s own beauty, ‘New Beauty’. I hope each viewer can discover their interpretation of traditional culture's unique beauty within my works. I also hope viewers find a sense of ‘tranquility’ through the various animals portrayed in my works. Beauty can be discovered in those brief moments of respite amid our hectic daily lives. These moments of catching our breath provide the strength to gather ourselves and move forward. Through my works' peaceful atmosphere, I hope you find the courage to maintain hope and embrace new challenges.

I've selected pieces that capture the new year's spirit and resonate most deeply with Amorepacific's ethos. Through this opportunity, viewers can discover beauty in their daily lives by reflecting on these works' traditional cultural elements and recalling their moments of comfort and tenderness in life's small instances.

As the year draws to a close, it has been marked by many hardships and sorrows.

Though the cold weather and busy schedules can leave us weary, I hope you'll find moments to pause and draw warmth from brief respites.

I sincerely hope the new year brings you abundant good news.

Wishing you health and happiness in the year ahead.
