Kim Yeonuk

Biography

I majored in bioengineering in college and bio education in graduate school, and participated in various environmental ecology surveys as part of a laboratory, observing and identifying small organisms using an electron microscope.

Later, I taught biology to students in high school.

As I observed tiny parts through a microscope, I became interested in the minute parts of plants. Later, as I personally grew, observed, and disassembled plants, I became interested in their structure and function.

I seek to express the actual size of the plant.

I mainly use water-based coloured pencils and use a water brush for finishing work.
