What is your Bangkok story?
I was born and live in Bangkok but now I have some jobs in Ratchaburi so I have to spend time to journey between Bangkok and Ratchaburi.
Bangkok as I know from the past, was not busy like now. It had good nature and views but now has a lot of buildings instead of natural areas and the signature of Bangkok is traffic jams, there’s a lot of people. It has had a lot of change. Everything always has hasty competition here.
What is your background in art and graffiti?
I painted and studied in art school and university almost twenty years ago but street art happened when I went to Ratchaburi and met my friend who works in street art.
Jartown is a street art club in Ratchaburi where I began to create my current job. I like my job when I see it can connect to people, and I like to solve the problems when I work. I like to find the way to protect the problem for next time.
Street art is not just preparing the colour and spraying it on the wall. It's not easy like that. I have to survey the area and prepare the wall by painting the base colour to protect the colour absorbing from the wall. Thailand is a hot country so it not comfortable when you have to work outdoors.
In addition, I have canvas painting jobs when I stay at home and collect them to exhibit in galleries sometimes. I like to do it when I have the time.
How would you explain your style?
I have not got a certain style. I'm don’t defining my style. I sketch when I have ideas and find the technique to do it and then I just do it.
What are your influences and inspiration?
My inspiration is around myself. It comes from people I know or from movies and songs.
I pick them up from my impression and change them to be the raw material for my job.
You have an event at Chomp along with other artists next year, tell us a bit about this...
Chomp of Bangkok Sweet Dream, is a good event to present ideas and feelings towards our capital city (Bangkok). I found many street artists in this event. It is like a meeting of street artists who comes to share their ideas, techniques and experiences for each artist to improve from others advices and experiences.
What are your current projects?
Now I am doing one project, which present the attitude and feeling of the environment around myself. And I have a graffiti project going, working with Jartown & nbsp. We call it ‘Refresh Jartown’ project. This project will include many artists from Jartown club who will work together to present one job on a big wall.
What projects and collaborations would you like to do in the future?
I have no idea for future projects yet but I will walk on the artist path forever.
What do you think of the Bangkok/Thailand art scene?
In my opinion, Thai artists have a lot of improvement to do. They can apply international art to their job for easy understanding and dissemination. In this generation we have a lot of technology for teaching improvement possibilities and we are discovering many interesting things to apply to life. This is very good, even though it is sometimes too dominante a feeling.
What do you do in your spare time?
I never have spare time. I work until I have no more energy and then recover my energy by sleeping.
What is your life philosophy?
My philosophy is ‘start and keep at it until it is finished’. It looks easy but the start point and finish point of each person are different. Everything depends on your definition of life.
