Inspiration Behind “You”
To begin with, the portrait titled “You” stems from a captivating scene in the third episode of “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay,” namely “Sleeping Witch.” Remember the scene? The ambiance, the raw emotions, and that underlying tension? That exact sentiment is what I’ve aimed to capture here. When he probed, asking if she recognized him, her reply was subtle yet layered, expressing a desire to understand him better. Their reunion at OK Hospital, laden with underlying emotions, serves as the core of this artwork.
Delving into the Characters
The protagonists, Moon-young and Gang-tae, beautifully portrayed by Seo Yea-ji and Kim Soo-hyun, stand as vivid testaments to complex emotions. Moon-young’s proximity to Kang-tae, slightly disconcerting for him, unveils her admiration for his metamorphosis. The dialogue, though minimal, brims with intensity, laying bare the spectrum of her feelings and her enigmatic persona. At the heart of this, Moon-young’s tenacious nature stands out, making her an embodiment of intriguing contradictions.
Artistic Interpretation
Transitioning from that, with every stroke of the brush, I’ve strived for a portrayal that oscillates between the magnetic pull and the palpable tension, mirroring the characters’ chemistry. The selection of hues and the design weave a narrative of closeness and vulnerability, urging viewers to delve into their intricate bond.
While this artwork stems from a place of admiration, it doesn’t proclaim any grand artistic prowess. Instead, it’s a genuine exploration of human sentiments and the imperfections that make us so very human. It’s my homage to the remarkable portrayals by Seo Yea-ji and Kim Soo-hyun. Their performances breathed life into Moon-young and Kang-tae, leaving a profound impact on me as a creative spirit.
