Looking at maps of the Bangkok area I was captivated by the sinuous course of the Chao Phraya river. Keeping the silhouette of the river as the central shape, I started to think of colors shapes and patterns that would represent my perception of the city.
The four panels are made of MDF boards and finished with a combination of acrylic paint, sand, spray-paint, paper and glue.
While remaining committed to the original shape of the Chao Phraya river flowing through Bangkok, the options for customization are infinite, playing with colors, textures and thickness.
If you have ideas or requests for commissioned work please get in touch.
