Her softness is not a sign of fragility; instead, it becomes a form of power. I wanted to capture the idea that strength does not always have to be loud or aggressive-it can exist in tenderness, femininity, and self-assurance.\u003cbr\u003eThe tiger is a strong symbol of Korean culture and represents courage, power, and protection. I incorporated it alongside the hanbok-inspired elements, connecting the figure to Korea's rich cultural identity and traditional beauty.\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast, the oversized bear-ear hoodie brings a playful and youthful feeling to the work. It represents the childish side that we continue to carry with us, even as we grow older. It also references the playful photo booth culture I experienced in Korea, where dressing up, posing, and capturing silly moments has become part of contemporary Korean youth culture.\u003cbr\u003eThrough these elements, I wanted to create a portrait that brings together different sides of identity: softness and strength, tradition and modernity, confidence and innocence. The painting reflects my own memories of Korea while exploring the idea that we don't have to choose between being strong and being gentle-we can be both.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fresnel-container fresnel-greaterThanOrEqual-md fresnel-_r_3kf_ contents\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col gap-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"last:mb-0 select-text text-text-secondary\"\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Canvas, Mixed Media : Acrylic and Ballpoint Pen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-signed by the artist on the reverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtwork Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1000mm X 1000mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original thank-you card\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe artwork is carefully packaged and shipped in a protective cardboard box to ensure it arrives in pristine condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustoms \u0026amp; Taxes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustoms duties and import taxes are included where applicable.\u003cbr\u003eAny additional charges imposed by local authorities remain the responsibility of the buyer.
