A new rising artist, Sumi Oh (ARISOL) is a Korean illustrator based in Seoul, South Korea.

일상 속 넘실거리는 상상을 그리는 아티스트 ARISOL (오수미) 입니다. 뉴욕에 위치한 School of Visual Arts, BFA Illustration을 2020년에 졸업하고, 런던 골드스미스에서 석사과정: 어린이 교육, 책 일러스트레이션을 공부하였습니다. 무한한 상상의 시각화와 전달의 매력에 빠진 저는 꿈과 상상을 기반으로 글을 쓰고, 이야기 속 기억에 남았던 장면과 감정을 그려내어 탄탄한 스토리텔링을 가진 그림을 그립니다.
