What is the highlight of your exhibition, Life - Mind?
I didn’t plan on making one particular thing the highlight of this exhibition. I’d rather let the audiences make their own decision.
Tell us about the your technique:
I used acrylic paint; in the same way I would use watercolors—blending it with water so that the colors are more translucent. My paintings are drawn with different colors and strokes and I do it using the same pace I use when I practice my meditation.
Do you think your work can have an
effect on viewers?
If influence means a power to dominate other
people, then it wouldn’t be in line with my ideas and what I want to achieve. I work to ease my own suffering. I just hope that my audiences will find peace of mind after viewing
the exhibition.
If you painted Bangkok, how would you?
I was born in Bangkok when this city still had plenty of greenery and was a nicer place to live in. Time has passed and now Bangkok has transformed into a big pile of chaos because of the constant supply and demand of superficial things. The picture of Bangkok today is far away from the city in my dreams. So if I had to paint this city, I would paint Bangkok in a previous time, when it was much more beautiful.
Your ideal life is:
Having my mind free from all the spiritual suffering.
