Palut Marod calls the art he has created for a long time… idealistic. The personal ideal job, he
said to me. The way he works is constantly changing. He has been working for a long time with oil painting, since studying in university until becoming an independent artist. He is
also interested in bringing out mixed media as an interesting presentation. He believes that the artist should have a stand, have a pattern and have unique work. He is confident
that artists should be satisfied with changes rather than being stuck with creating traditional jobs.
During his study at Silpakorn University, Palut found that he enjoyed mixed media as well. He says:
"Art is all about the experience, and what touches your heart. When I experience something, someone, or some event, I want to express it
in my art. Each experience is dynamic and unique, so, the media and techniques I use also need to be as ever-changing and dynamic."
He dared to present the difference in the work he had prepared. The experiments gave him a feeling of not being boring. And he is always happy
when there is a presentation that comes from the creativeness of change.
A Prolific and International Artist
Palut Marod graduated B.F.A. and M.F.A. from Silpakorn University, Bangkok and has received numerous scholarships to study in Italy, France,
India, and China. His paintings were auctioned at Christie's and Sotheby's Hong Kong on several occasions and were exhibited in Romania, France,
Lebanon, Korea, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Japan, Malaysia, India, and Thailand.
Here is my interview him:
JY. Please tell me your inspiration for making art from past to present.
PM. As I have been working for the past 20 years, I have always been using
oil painting and using a leaner drawing method, gradual and time-consuming. This method can respond well to my thoughts and feelings at
that moment. But the worktakes a long time to do. After doing this kind of process for over 20 years, I thought I wanted to try something fun and get
out of my comfort zone, wanted the excitement to try something new for myself. To meet the ideas of today's era with the Internet world and various
information coming in, the process of thinking has evolved and changed. Five years ago I wanted to be an artist named after my work. That self is
from the 'dark line', my solo show, mixed media in presentations. There are three things: Canvas, paper, and images from photos. It is a variety of color
combinations of the technique of working a Solo Exhibition "The Secret of Devil" at Subhashok, The Arts Center is an event where I have shown
various talents using puppets as model coloring in photos and using symbols (which is a time of satisfaction) to invite the audience to come and see it once before die.

When the times changed, the old methods and techniques didn't respond,
so I had to experiment. My favorite and fun way of working is response to current ideas which I have, interests in many areas, but in the environment
close to me is a matter of shapes like two young sons: religion and nature. By using a new method, learning something new with acrylic paints, which
I rarely used. But when you do it often, you become proficient.
There was the thought of how to make it different from other artists using
the same technique. So I tried to make Semi-Abstract, the technique of folding paper with colors, the Rorschach Technique, and using acrylic
colors. I called his way of working a "Butterfly Effect."
Art as a Path to Happiness
Buddhism has played a crucial role in Palut's life and art. He was raised a
devout Buddhist, so the path of finding eternal happiness and enlightenment, while detaching oneself from suffering is the foundation of
his artistic creation. Later, Kahlil Gibran, love, heartaches, Francesco Clemente, to name a few, helped shaped his art.
JY. Please tell us about the works of art that have opinions you want the readers to understand.
PM. Probably my current work. I think an artist must be a creator, a
person who has to be creative. A person who has to break out of his comfort zone to experience new things, because the world is changing,
artists are units of this world, it can change as well. Maybe reinforcing the work in the last 5 years and 10 years and then move to find new ways to
experiment with developing both concepts and methods following the situation that artists will encounter.
JY. Please tell us about your education, family history, work done, and experiences you have gained with those jobs.
PM. I'm pretty fortunate to be born into a family that doesn't pressure me
to study what my parents think. They allowed me to be mischievous and study back and forth to find out what I liked until I knew myself enough and then headed that way.
When I got married, I was lucky that my wife was my support. Every
situation in my art creation has enabled me to only be able to do art until this day.
JY. What do you mean when you refer to a knowledgable society?
PM. I think that the society in today's world has advanced and knowledge
in various media has increased. People can see a variety of art and learn more new things. It is learning from the environment directly with some
artists themselves still attached to or in the same framework, but society has developed to another level that perhaps has more abilities and skills
than the artist who created it. I work in art and try to respond and use research from people in general society to speak directly to us, distilling
from them our self-centered habits and ideas.
JY. On the use of color as a medium of presentation.
PM. I'm quite adept at using oil paints, but the major turning point is that
some work methods take too much time and can't keep up with the idea. So I experimented with some acrylic paints for the fun and excitement of
discovering something new.And sometimes I mold it with acrylic paint first and then mix it with oil paint in some places.
Kahlil Gibran
I studied his work during college because sometimes with self-paced
artworks, I don't have any information or concepts to work on, or my experience in life is still scarce, so I have to rely on many philosophical
concepts to be read, to enhance my knowledge. I still use the Buddhist content of The Buddha, as usual, every day.
Teach them to live a human life and then create art.
