Bangkok Smoky Light In this evocative abstract work, the pulse of the city is distilled into a rhythmic dance of light and shadow. The canvas captures the fleeting essence of Bangkok after dark—where the neon glow of street signs and the warmth of interior life struggle against a veil of urban haze.

The vertical brushstrokes act as architectural echoes, suggesting skyscrapers and narrow alleys softened by a "smoky" atmosphere. It is a meditation on the vibrant energy that remains even when the world feels obscured, inviting the viewer to find beauty in the blur of the metropolitan night.

"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."

This captivating abstract piece explores the intersection of texture and light. Using a rhythmic series of vertical palette knife strokes, the artist creates a sense of falling color. The transition from muted, sandy neutrals into a deep, saturated magenta heart evokes the feeling of a fading sunset or a sudden burst of emotion. A highly tactile work that adds warmth and sophisticated energy to any space.

The Artist’s Process (Tactile Qualities)

• The Palette Knife: The piece is constructed entirely with a palette knife, avoiding traditional brushes to maintain the sharp, architectural integrity of each vertical stroke.

• Textural Depth: The "ridges" of the paint create a high-relief surface. This produces a dynamic effect where the painting changes slightly as the light in the room shifts throughout the day.

• Color Transition: A deliberate gradient strategy was used, moving from desaturated ochre and parchment tones at the top into a high-saturation cadmium red and magenta core, symbolizing a grounding or "settling" of energy.

It tells a story. People don't just see shapes anymore; they feel the temperature of the "cold night" and the relief of the "light."

"In this evocative abstract work, I captures the quiet, shivering essence of a winter evening. The painting is built upon a foundation of muted, 'cold' neutrals—dusky roses, architectural greys, and earthy browns—applied in rhythmic, vertical impasto strokes that mimic the falling rain or the blur of a fog-filled street.

At its heart, however, lies the 'glimmer'—bold, energetic bursts of acid yellow and ochre that pierce through the gloom. These luminous accents serve as a visual anchor, representing hope, warmth, or a human presence in an otherwise vast and chilling landscape. The soft, vignetted edges of the canvas pull the viewer’s focus inward, creating an intimate, almost voyeuristic experience of finding light where it is least expected."

Inspiration: Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

"I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it."

This piece explores the quiet, shadowed depths of memory and isolation found in Murakami’s masterpiece. Through layered textures and a shifting palette of earthy ochres and deep forest greens, Light in the Woods represents the blurred line between the past we cling to and the reality we must inhabit. It is a visual meditation on the bittersweet weight of growing up and the flickering hope that stays with us in the dark.
