When Seul Gi Oh quit her first job, she wanted to do something she enjoyed. That’s when she remembered how much she liked doing origami when she was a little girl. One thing led to another, and what started as a hobby ended up being Seul Gi Oh’s main profession.
She now works as a paper creator who makes all kinds of stuff using paper as her main medium. When she began her artistic journey, she realized that most Korean paper flower artists make paper flowers out of crepe paper, which motivated her to start making them using cardstock paper.
She explained her artistic process in an interview with Ballpit:
“I feel that making realistic paper flowers out of cardstock paper is more difficult than crepe paper. So I am trying to make flowers as realistic as possible using various techniques. The most important part of my work is the color schemes as I think the color is one of the tools that best represents me.”
When asked what inspires her the most, she revealed that she finds something interesting in everyday things. That’s why she always carries a notebook where she can write down the ideas when they strike her.
