Artwork location: Germany

The young Thai artist known by the enigmatic pseudonym "The Opium Smoking White Elephant" is a beacon in contemporary digital art. His creative path begins with historical photographs, each a portal to times gone by. Through meticulous manipulation and deliberate alienation, these relics are transformed into vivid reflections of the present, imbued with an unearthly appeal.

In his latest series, "Ancient Future Colorful," presented in 2023, the artist seamlessly weaves tradition and innovation. Using artificial intelligence, he breathes new life into the canvas, drawing on Thailand's rich heritage of ancient, colorful oil paintings, etchings and woodcuts.

Central to the thematic exploration is the motif of the shaman - a figure full of mysticism and wisdom. Through swirling veils of opium smoke and the subtle allure of magic mushrooms, the artist invites viewers on a transcendental journey reminiscent of a modern Garden of Eden.

Amidst the lush green of the forest, indigenous swimming beauties frolic in waters filled with life. Their faces radiate with joy and innocence, reflecting the vibrant colors of their surroundings. Hand in hand, they form a web of unity and harmony, their laughter echoing through the green expanse.

Yet amidst the idyllic splendor, the artist imbues his creations with a sense of urgency - an evocation of the "ancient future." Through elements of the Futurist style, he hints at the unstoppable passage of time, urging viewers to consider the fragility of the present and the promise of what may yet come.

In the world of Ancient Future Colorful, the boundaries between past and present, tradition and innovation blur into a kaleidoscopic panorama of possibility. Here, among the smiles and laughter of heroes and heroines, lies a timeless invitation - to embrace the beauty of now while setting our sights on the horizon of what may yet come.
