I was raised in Bangkok, where an early habit of daydreaming and making things by hand first shaped my world. Though I didn’t always see myself as a painter, I have always been drawn to the tactile and the handmade. After a career path that spanned various disciplines, I returned to the canvas full-time, building on a foundation from Central Saint Martins in London and later the Florence Academy of Art in Italy.

In my studio, I focus on the “living” surface. I am interested in how raw, physical marks can translate the visceral weight of being alive—emotions that words often fail to capture. To me, the subject of a painting is secondary to the feeling it conveys. My work is an exploration of what it means to be human: the ache of longing, the weight of loss, the shadows of greed, and our shared, persistent struggle to survive.

My way of thinking is rooted in my Buddhist background—not as a formal dogma, but as a lifestyle and a lens through which I view the world. I am deeply influenced by the lives and work ethics of Philip Guston and Giacometti, and I find profound inspiration in the expressive power of Anselm Kiefer, Francis Bacon, Käthe Kollwitz, JMW Turner, and Cecily Brown. I strive to create work that isn’t just a static image, but a moving, breathing record of a moment.
