Hello, readers! Today, I’m bringing you a heartwarming story born from a recent heavy snowfall in Korea. A grand snow sculpture of Michelangelo’s Pietà appeared on the Kookmin University campus, sparking widespread fascination.
Here’s the twist: it wasn’t crafted by an art major but by Kang Min-soo, a student from the Software Engineering Department! Despite never receiving formal art training, Kang has always had a passion for design. He shared that the heavy snow gave him the perfect chance to bring his creative vision to life. His work quickly gained traction on social media, warming the hearts of everyone who saw it.
The story didn’t stop there. It even made waves overseas, with Vietnamese magazine Hoa Học Trò praising the sculpture’s intricate details and precision. Kang’s creation has inspired many, showing how art can emerge from unexpected places.
Kang isn’t just dabbling in art as a hobby—he dreams of blending technology and art to create something innovative. This snow sculpture was just one example of his experiments.
He explained, “I wanted to show the potential of combining technology with art,” revealing plans to launch a jewelry design venture that leverages his software skills and artistic flair. With both fields in his grasp, it’s exciting to imagine what groundbreaking projects Kang might unveil in the future.
In another delightful twist, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) also became a stage for snow artistry. A snow sculpture of Olaf from Frozen made an appearance, delighting visitors.
The museum even posted on its official SNS, inviting the unknown sculptors to come forward and expressing gratitude for the charming creations. The grounds featured various snow figures, from abstract faces to a whimsical Olaf, spreading warmth and joy amid the chilly weather.
Social media users eagerly shared photos of these winter masterpieces, adding their own stories. Perhaps this inspires you to try a little snow artistry or host a creative event of your own!
That’s all for today’s update. Stay tuned for more exciting stories next time. Thanks for reading!
