ARTLIA's art prints are produced according to standardized paper and canvas formats.
Depending on the aspect ratio of the original artwork and the chosen format, it may happen that the edges of the image are slightly adjusted to achieve a harmonious overall effect and high print quality.
For canvas prints, the ARTLIA team ensures that the main motif is placed as fully as possible on the front side. The side frame areas are continued in color and style to match the original image.
This is a deliberate and common production step with which the ARTLIA team ensures the aesthetic quality of each artwork.

Flock of sparrows (Gunjakdo)
Korean Minhwa interpretation by Seungmin Yoon
This work by Seungmin Yoon draws on the traditional Korean motif of Gunjakdo – a lively depiction of a flock of sparrows that has stood for joy, community, prosperity, and harmonious coexistence for centuries.
In Korean folk painting (Minhwa), nature and symbolism combine in a particularly direct way. Colors, shapes, and composition create a lively, intuitive effect, far from the strict rules of court art traditions. This results in a visual language that, through the fine detailing of numerous birds and soft natural tones, conveys warmth, life energy, and a deeply positive, communal aura.
Symbolism of Gunjakdo
Depending on the arrangement and surroundings of the birds, specific meanings emerge. In this work, the following are common:
-
A flock of sparrows (Gun-jak) – representing joyful togetherness, family happiness, sociability, and sharing the joy of life. In traditional contexts, many birds also symbolize abundant blessings and prosperity.
-
Blooming branches and fresh greenery – symbolizing growth, renewal, and the unfolding of life in its most beautiful splendor.
-
The gnarled, enduring tree trunk – for a solid foundation, longevity, protection, and the harmonious balance of nature.
This combination makes Gunjakdo a classic motif of good fortune that traditionally fills living spaces with life, creates an optimistic atmosphere, and strengthens the feeling of security and togetherness.
About the Artist
Seungmin Yoon combines classic motifs in her artistic practice with a clear, contemporary visual language. The symbolic expressiveness of the Minhwa tradition is preserved but translated into a reduced, modern visual aesthetic.

Format & Execution
The original has a narrow, vertical format. For selected poster sizes, the composition was gently adjusted.
– Standard Poster: slightly cropped for a balanced format
– Full Image Option: full display available without cropping
– Canvas prints (1:2 / 1:3): always in the full original format
If you choose the full version, you also have the option to customize the artwork or mount it traditionally.
Minhwa – Korean Folk Painting
Minhwa mainly emerged in the late Joseon period (18th–19th century) as an everyday form of painting. Unlike the strictly regulated court art, it was characterized by greater freedom, playful elements, and strong symbolic meaning. Many works were created as good luck charms, with the wish to bring positive energy into daily life.
To this day, Minhwa has preserved this special quality: an immediate, human aesthetic that does not dominate spaces but subtly enriches them.
