Jiratchaya Pripwai

Jiratchaya Pripwai was born in 1983 in Kalasin, Thailand, and moved to Chiang Mai when she was four years old.

She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Chiang Mai University and a Master of Painting degree from Silpakorn University, Thailand.

She was also awarded a bronze medal at the 56th National Art Exhibition in Thailand in 2010.
Jiratchaya's artistic skills are expressed in series of monochrome drawings of intertwined lines. In his creations using acrylic on canvas, Jiratchaya Pripwai remains faithful to his technique where the line gives way to the brushstroke emphasizing the inner perspective and depth of a meditative state.
