Nakarin    Punyawong

Born in 1994 in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Lives and works in in Chiang Mai, Thailand

He graduated from the Bachelor of Arts, Painting Division, Faculty of Fine Arts, Chiang Mai University

 

His practice is rooted in painting as both a material process and a conceptual approach and has since expanded into diverse artistic methods. His work often begins with observation, questioning, and the transformation of familiar imagery drawn from everyday life, through intentional alterations in form and meaning. He often weaves personal experience with cultural memory and contemporary concerns, including themes of nature, technology, mediated imagery, and fictional structures. His practice aims to create a space for reflection that reconnects socially engaged subject matter with histories and culture, while hinting at broader collective narratives and subtle shifts in perception between external reality and inner experience.
