From the Neon of Bangkok to the Light of the English Countryside

Mongkol Sanla is a contemporary abstract artist whose work serves as a visual bridge between two worlds. Originally a prominent figure in the vibrant, high-energy art and music scene of Bangkok, Mongkol has recently transitioned to a new chapter of his life and career in the English countryside.

A Tale of Two Landscapes

Mongkol’s artistic journey is defined by the contrast between these two environments,capture the rhythmic pulse, humid atmosphere, and layered "noise" of the Thai metropolis.

Now, surrounded by the heritage and natural serenity of England, his palette and perspective are evolving. The frantic energy of the city is being met with the soft, diffused light of the British landscape creating a unique style that is both metropolitan and meditative.

Creative Philosophy

Whether painting a smog-veiled skyscraper or a mist-covered moor, Mongkol’s mission remains the same: to find the human connection within the atmosphere. * The Urban Root: His Thai heritage brings a bold, "glazed" layering technique and a fearless use of color.

• The Rural Influence: His new surroundings in England have introduced a sense of space, silence, and the subtle interplay of seasonal light.

• The Universal Theme: At the heart of every canvas is Mongkol’s belief that art is a universal language. He believes there are no "mistakes" in art—only expressions of the soul.

"My work concerns people and human life. A big city like Bangkok provides constant inspiration... Believe in yourself and your work no matter what. There is no wrong way or mistakes you can make when you create art."
