			Iwai
Based in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
 
Iwai is a secret painter based in Seoul.
Iwai began his career as a painter by creating the character "Ned."
The idea of 'Ned' in his work was created from a child wearing a mask in a kindergarten play.
He is a passive child who mainly plays background characters such as trees, flowers, and mountains in the play because he is not active, but he is a lovely character who loves nature and imagines various things alone.
 
His art reminds you of the fast-destroying beauty of nature and the importance of coexistence through the imagination of 'Ned', which blends freely with nature and animals.
The life force of nature, which is invisible to our eyes but beautifully alive, is "Ned."
