Mickey Paulssen’s Appreciation for Goyang Koi Farm and Baedagol Theme Park
I am incredibly grateful for the time I’ve spent at Goyang Koi Farm and Baedagol Theme Park. It has been an enriching experience that has greatly influenced my art. The support of Kim Young Soo, the S.E.O. of Goyang Koi Farm, has been invaluable. His encouragement allowed me to deeply immerse myself in the beauty and culture of Koi keeping in Korea.
Through his guidance, I have learned so much about the Bidan Ingeo (비단잉어), also known as Nishikigoi, which has become a central theme in my drawings. This unique exposure to Korean Koi varieties has helped me understand their significance in Korean culture and has allowed me to depict their beauty with greater authenticity in my art.
Being at Baedagol Theme Park, surrounded by the serene landscapes and the vibrant Koi, has truly been a source of inspiration. It’s a place where I’ve found not only the perfect subjects for my drawings but also a community that shares my passion for these magnificent creatures. I feel honored to be part of this journey and to contribute to the appreciation of Koi through my artwork.
I look forward to continuing this collaboration and further exploring the world of Bidan Ingeo, capturing their elegance and grace in every piece I create. Thank you to everyone at Goyang Koi Farm for making this experience so meaningful. Mickey Paulssen.
