Artist Bio
I find deep joy in creating art with my hands, using creativity as a way to connect cultures and share stories beyond language.
While studying Chinese in China, I discovered the art of sand painting, a moment that became a turning point in my artistic journey. In 2019, I was honored to receive a Top 10 Award at the Silk Road International Sand Painting Competition. This recognition opened opportunities for me to present my work at cultural events, including the Thai Festival at the Royal Thai Embassy in Beijing and the International Student Festival at my university. Through sand painting, I was able to share Thai culture while embracing cross-cultural exchange, an experience that was later featured by Chinese media.
More recently, a Chinese article documented my artistic journey and described my role as a bridge connecting Eastern and Western cultures. I was deeply grateful and proud to be seen in this way, as I believe everyone can serve as a cultural ambassador for their country.
I also believe that each person can help protect the environment through meaningful actions. This belief inspired me to transform discarded cans into artworks, turning what is considered useless into something meaningful.
For me, recycling is not only an act of love for the Earth, but also a powerful form of artistic expression.
