Grown_Up Baby 3.14

About GROWN

GROWN (SUJIN BACK. 1993) is a visual artist and painter, and the founder of GROWN_UP BABY 3.14.

Her practice centers on a hybrid approach that combines painting-based techniques with pop art influences.
Her core symbols include the Lotus, while her signature color is Red Thread (Hongyeon).
The philosophical foundation of her work is rooted in Infinity 3.14, representing endless growth and expansion.

GROWN’s artistic world is driven by storytelling-based visual narratives.
She is particularly known for translating musical emotions into painterly forms, using music as a primary interpretive tool in her creative process.

One of her signature practices involves analyzing a client’s playlist of five songs—decoding emotions, memories, and narrative structures—to create a personalized “visual autobiography.”
Through this method, each artwork becomes a unique emotional portrait that reflects the individual’s inner world.

The artist name GROWN_UP BABY 3.14 carries layered meanings: it represents the duality of being outwardly childlike with inner maturity, and outwardly mature with an inner child.
These contrasts express emotional multiplicity and inner duality, while 3.14, derived from the mathematical constant pi, symbolizes the belief that growth is infinite and never complete.

GROWN’s emblem is the Lotus, and her slogan is: “From the mud, a lotus blossoms.”
This phrase reflects her philosophy that growth and beauty emerge through adversity.

Her signature invitation to audiences is: “I create a visual autobiography from your five-song playlist.”
Through this process, viewers are invited to experience GROWN’s distinctive artistic language, where music, memory, and painting converge.
