LIKIT NISITANAKAN (b. 1973)
Likit
Nisitanakan works within the tradition of Thai painting, drawing on Buddhist
teachings, natural forces, and mythological beings. Through intricate forms and
refined decorative detail, he transforms spiritual narratives into
contemplative images that connect faith, nature, and the human search for
meaning.
His practice
preserves the visual foundations of traditional Thai art while reinterpreting
Buddhist history and symbolic teachings through a contemporary perspective.
