“The world passes me by and press the pause button. {...}

Suddenly time flies by. I'm everywhere and nowhere but never alone.

"A dopo," or "see you later," is a common way of saying goodbye that feels full of promise to me. It’s about cherishing the possibility of meeting again. Memories and flashbacks are like this; we might experience them again, or we might not. This painting series witnesses those dream-like realities that have ended and serves as a reminder to be present, both physically and mentally, where I am now. This series reflects on the time I spent in Milan studying for my Master's in Art and Ecology. I began painting it in my newly renovated studio in the Charoenkrung area, which used to be my home eight years ago. They say happiness is about living in the moment. Even so, those memories are too precious and life-changing to be buried. They resurface as I paint because I believe I can only paint from within. What’s inside me flows from my heart to my hand and onto the canvas. 

​

​It’s about honesty and calm reflection. Maybe my past experiences come through in the movement of my work. The trial and error of using new materials and methods reflect the phase I’ve been exploring. It’s the unknown that always engages me and keeps me open to possibilities.
 
Let us live in our own fantasy, where we feel a bit lifted above reality. While I paint, it never feels entirely real to me—it’s a reverie full of pure emotions, transformed into colors and textures, becoming something meaningful.
