Today, as we can have easy access to and enjoy different cultures of the world through globalism of cultures, it is important to have cultural identity to preserve our culture. Therefore, this study used images in traditional flowers and birds painting as materials of my works. Theoretical backgrounds of folk painting and flowers and birds painting during Chosun period were analysed, and cases where they were applied in a modern way were reviewed. The flowers and birds painting were greatly influenced by Chinese art, but they have been developed into our own painting style according to our culture and social atmosphere. Our ancestors represented their desires and wishes such as longevity, happiness, success in life, wealth, or fecundity through personification of flowers and birds. As time has been changed, our desires as well as life and value system have been also changed. However, in spite of development of science, manners and customs, the faith and pray toward the invisible god have not been changed. So, symbolism contained in flowers and birds in our folk paintings was able to be reinterpreted and represented into new artistic works. This study expressed modern peoples desires by sculpture with Korean traditional characteristics using materials of flowers and birds to show utopia where tradition can be communicated and sympathized with modernity. It is expected that further studies will suggest directions toward the globalism of korean artistic materials as well as the developmental way for traditional folk painting.
