ABOUT ME

ARTIST STATEMENT

Punn Chatupanyachotikul is a contemporary figurative artist from Bangkok based in Amsterdam.

Captivated and challenged by the beauty of the human form, her pieces commonly depict faces and female bodies. Through her pieces, Punn attempts to find the balance in her pieces between an accurate observation and a suggestive interpretation. She wishes every eye to view her paintings differently and to momentarily lose themselves in the complexity of the brushstrokes.

Punn's works are ever-changing and she is still experimenting to find her own voice in the artist world. Inspired by the people and atmosphere around her, she moves closer to this goal.

PERSONAL NOTE
I was very fortunate to have always had paint around me growing up. I learned to paint by recreating works of artists I adored - most notably Jenny Saville and Thomas Donaldson. These artists challenged the way I viewed a piece of art and pushed my boundaries to experiment with shape, form and color in my paintings. It is no surprise that my style has continuously evolved and matured a lot over the years, however, I constantly find myself being drawn back to the human form and the endless possibilities to paint an accurate yet playful representation of it. As you explore my collection, you will learn that my paintings are very personal to me and they have accumulated subtle hints of color combinations from my garden, people that have inspired me and music that has moved me. I am excited to share my art with you and hope that it has moved you in one way or another.
