Born in 1990, Buwon had a profound interest in toys, play, and street culture from an early age. While studying industrial design at university, he became deeply immersed in 3D tools and created a rabbit character as a motif of himself. Buwon began to build his career as an artist, creating paintings and art toys. Buwon wishes to convey messages about the journey of life and personal growth through his artistic expressions. His lovely rabbit character is the portrait of the artist himself, inspired by his childhood nickname. Behind the image of an adorable rabbit lies a cynical concern, intertwined with the artist's life. The artist draws inspiration from various experiences, conveying messages that encompass both positive and negative emotions, which include happiness, joy, anxiety, and fear. Buwon comprises two distinct forms of art: paintings and art toys. The artist creates digital sketches before transferring them onto the canvas using acrylic paints. He often incorporates unique materials like fur or modifies canvases and panels to enhance his artistic expression and creativity. When it comes to his art toy production, he primarily focuses on creating the rabbit character. He first creates digital sketches and then builds their form through 3D modeling. Once the design has been completed, he prints out the outcome using a 3D printer and carefully paints and finishes the toy. Buwon has previously collaborated with renowned brands such as Hyundai Motor, Simmons, MCM, SJYP, Giordano, Line Friends, Nike, Asics, and artist Code Kunst. The artist is constantly expanding his artistic boundaries by holding exhibitions in different regions such as Las Vegas and Jakarta.
