Minhwa
Minhwa is a traditional Korean folk painting that reflects the everyday life, beliefs, and values of the Korean people. Originating during the Joseon Dynasty, these artworks often feature vibrant colors and simple, yet expressive, designs. Common themes include nature, animals, and auspicious symbols, which are believed to bring good fortune and happiness.
The style of Minhwa is characterized by its use of bold lines and flat colors, making it accessible and appealing to a wide audience. Unlike formal art, Minhwa is created by ordinary people rather than professional artists, emphasizing its connection to the cultural heritage and collective identity of Korea.
