Born in South Korea in 1989, Ram Han is a Seoul-based illustrator known for her candy-colored digital paintings. Working with graphic programs, Han adds personal taste to her rendered interpretations.
Like the rest of her generation, Han grew up in the 90’s and 00’s in Seoul, playing video games and reading comic books. Studied animation in college, Han finds inspiration in the past and the present through the endless source of content on the internet. For her, reality can be flexible and merged into any shape. Although the visuals Ram Han created may seem amorphous and futuristic, there is a sense of familiarity similar to faded memories. The surrealness of her works, Han says, comes from real life, especially her own experiences. However, the intention of the illustrator is not to form anything to analyze but to create a stimulation on the viewers, like a visual ASMR.
Aside from her own projects, she has drawn covers for the Korean movie criticism magazine Prism OF and the contemporary culture magazine Don’t Panic, and for music albums of various artists. Ram Han is the illustrator behind the poster artwork of the Red Room Tour of the K-pop girl group Red Velvet.
For us, her works are like fantasies that are made out of an everyday moment mixed with a random screenshot from a video game. Check out her Instagram page @ram__han and website to see more of her dreamlike artworks, and let us know what you think.
