Life in color: Artnom

Artnom studied traditional East Asian painting and worked as a character designer. Since 1998, he has combined his characters with his art, exploring ways to connect fine art with the public. He expanded the spirit of traditional East Asian painting into modern art, blending East and West, tradition and modernity, past and present, and design with fine art. Rather than drawing strict lines between pop art and East Asian painting, he amplified their differences and brought interesting elements from both into his work. 

His art has been featured in installations and collaborations with many companies. He has worked with Samsung (Galaxy Note, Galaxy S3), Hyundai I’Park Mall in Yongsan Station, Capri, Black Martine Sitbon, Adidas, and Clédor, reaching audiences beyond galleries and across various cultural spaces.
