I really want you to know me. I’m a complicated person. My family calls me “Toey” pronounced “dhuhy.” This is a pleasing sound in Thai and nearly unpronounceable to others. While it’s a common and lovely local name that means “panda nut leaf,” for ease most people started calling me “Nop.”

I was born in Khon Kaen, the second-largest of the north-eastern provinces of Thailand, a region called Isan, that borders Lao. My family moved around a lot when I was young. I don’t yet know why.  We moved to Phuket when I was 8 and stayed for 11 years. I went to Bangkok at age 19 to study and graduate with a degree in architecture from Kasem Bundit University.

Blessed or cursed with deep sensitivity, my emotional swings go fast and far, from softest to hardest within seconds. I don’t understand why I do what I do.  There is someone or something inside me.  I am not sure if that’s the real me or just an evil mind that persuades me to do things just to satisfy a sudden urge. Often, I have no idea of what may come as a consequence.  Look, this is not about impulse buying that I am surprisingly able to control …in most situations.

Fascinated with drawing since I could hold a pen or pencil, Japanese comics had a big impact on me. Reading them was my favorite hobby when I was in junior high school. My mom worked in a bakery and I helped her to sell baked goods at the local market. Self-taught at first, I kept a notebook with me and with pen and pencil sketched what ever I saw.  I also made up my own short story comics and brought them to school for my friends to read. They loved them! And that encouraged me to keep up with my drawing.

I honed my drafting skills at university and started to work in colors, first acrylics and then the more difficult oils. The themes I work on come from within: both fond an difficult memories.  I use recollection with imagination and mix them both with present feelings. Unlike the spontaneity of my early works, before I start any new canvas or drawing I rest, calm myself, and travel back and forth in time, feeling what I want to express and then allow spontaneous urges to escape. I  express all that I am able to on canvas using color and form.

 Love is probably the most important power within me, the most important element in my life. Love shows as a major effect in my paintings. I don’t mean just a good love that can make my day brighter than a summer noon in Phuket. Dark love is also a major influence, dark love that makes me feel so miserable that not even my mom –whom I adore – can move me to brightness.

I can express many of my private emotions on canvass better than with words.  Feelings of longing, deceiving, desperation, sadness loneliness, adventure, playfulness, love, rage, all drive me to paint.  I enjoy expressing myself with colors, finding combinations that work for me, the aura that come out of them as that aura both engulfs and releases me.

I do not see to express either reality or the visual distortion of impressionist. I prefer to create something different, what can’t be seen with my eyes. Is this truly unique?  Perhaps you can see a bit of the expressionist with a little bit of abstract, but in a recognizable form.

I try to capture a feeling, as when my mom can ask while talking to me on the telephone, “what’s wrong” from the sound of my voice and her own intuition. Without seeing my face, Mom knows …. I seek to capture that feeling in my paintings, a feeling that I’m not sure I will be lucky enough to ever feel again.

I try to express my feelings and connect them with other people through my work, hoping to find those who can understand me. Certain that many people have had similar experiences; I try to find that common thread to bind me to others, or to one certain other. Getting older, I find how relationships have a way of being ruined….sometimes success comes my way, yet I long for more. Depression tortures some but it keeps inspiring and pressuring me forward in my painted works.
