Specialist note

“Most of the time, my inspirations come from life; life in society and the world I live in. You can see traces of inspiration in my artistic expression. You might not be able to explain them by making a symbolic comparison, because they are not directly translated from my inspirations. I believe that each artistic creation has its own attitudes, and you may be able to see them in my work without having to deconstruct the entire details of the work at all.”

– Natee Utarit
