The
systematic and continuous job interviews from a new generation of artists
tell me that artist printmaking is not just a form called engraving or
etching.
The history of the printed visual
arts includes evidence of creation since prehistoric times. Cro-Magnon
people were evidently the first to start creating print art. It appears in
Las-caux Cave, France, and Altamira Cave, Spain, as animal-shaped stripes,
evidence of the process of human printing in the past. There is also
initial evidence of stencil printing by using the hands as patterns on the
walls of the cave, molding the hands and spraying or blowing paint on the
back of them. The hand part blocks the paint, the paint sprays through the
gaps of the fingers. It appears as an image clearly showing the outer
shape boundaries of the palm. It is a simple printing process.
Prints date back to prehistoric times
(200,000 years ago. (BC). Later, Egyptians and Mesopotamians printed
images using pressure stamps on soft materials such as soil, wax. When
paper was invented, they turned soil or wax supporting materials into
paper instead. Since then, printmaking has evolved steadily in terms of
patterns, printing strategies based on human evolution, and advancements
in science and technology.
Advancement in printing is what
promotes advancement in the arts of science because humans create print
processes to meet their needs. In spreading human thought and knowledge
widely, as well as to preserve knowledge for future generations to learn
about the history of knowledge in various subjects. .
The evolution of printing in Eastern
countries shows that China was the first to invent printmaking by
carving on stones, jade, ivory, animal bones and animal horns to make
molds and pressing the molds onto clay. This printing knowledge was passed
on to Western countries and major neighboring countries, including Japan.
Korea, which developed this printing knowledge, successfully made
typography out of metal. In Japan, printing was developed to be accepted
as valuable prints, It strongly influenced the art of Western countries in
the 19th century.
For printmaking in Thailand, the
initial phase was made for commercial artistic use, mostly
illustrated books. It was later developed into printmaking work in the
education system, with the Faculty of Painting and Sculpture. Silpakorn
University, a pioneer in printmaking teaching, and later other
institutions. Prints by Thai artists are internationally recognized.

It all starts with childhood. A kid who likes to play, likes to learn, like
most kids, likes to experiment, likes to do things that he never does, which
is what shaped and inspired me to take it as a future creation. As for the
reasons I liked to work in art, I started with my father always drawing on
things, cartoon characters in my childhood, until I was 15. I was in the
writers' club at Debsirin School, giving me the idea that one day I would
have my own book with me and my father drawing in my book, and then I
began learning to draw from Sawang, who was an art teacher in my
neighborhood, and after a year I began to study painting seriously at the
Art Institute for the entrance examination of the University called Dectivo
Studio of Art, with the goal of entering the Poh-Chang Academy of Arts,
which was an educational institution that in the past my father wanted to
come to study but he had no chance of, and had a spare goal: the Faculty of
Painting, Sculpture and Printmaking at the University of Fine Arts. After
that, I got stuck in the seeding of a mechanic in the print arts department.
At this printmaking department that began to spark my artist journey, I
met many talented people, met many friends from different institutions,
exchanged ideas for work practices, and met professors in the department
who gave me a lot of advice, consulted on various subjects, learned a lot of
different print techniques, experimented with, which allowed me to know
that what I liked best in the printmaking work was not to use portrait
creation. Instead, experimenting, learning and having fun back and forth,
the techniques of working on printmaking are so many, we can enjoy
playing, experimenting with techniques that we do not know endlessly, and
experimenting has finally become a form of my work.
I'm currently working as a printmaker at Pineapple Print Press Studio and
Gallery, which is another place where I get into the system of printmaking
even more, learn new techniques, new systems, meet a lot of artists, talk to
a lot of different artists, hear a lot of different artists' conceptual styles, all
of which I've described, all of which have fused together to be me today.

Printmaker: currently working at Pineappleprintpress Studio and
Gallery, located near Rama 3. Sometimes there is an opportunity to teach
and workhop to the general public and students to try basic print art and
personal work during their free time at work.
Interest in art: I personally like the work that when I look at it and I know,
I have a question for myself what techniques this artist gives to me, what
techniques this artist gives to create, especially in printmaking techniques,
which Thailand now knows very little about.

Please tell me about the inspiring works, favorite artists, submissions
to contests or auctions for charity
BM.
Wassily Kandinsky's work Circles in a Circle inspired me a lot in print
art, as the overlap of colors in the circle led me to take it as an idea for a
Texture overlap in printmaking.
I started submitting to contests by seeing posts inviting to overseas contests
in international print groups on Facebook, and then seeing pictures of
myself being stuck in international galleries, so I felt like we couldn't stop
there and sending to contests abroad continuously for the purpose of
publishing their prints to the world.
Speaking of print art in Thailand, there is quite a pattern of work quite
clearly, too, which is that the advantage is that people who look at the work
can immediately realize that it is from a Thai artist. As a result, it may be
that the work of print art in Thailand has developed very slowly, where in
foreign countries, at present, printmaking work is in the era known as
Ex Libris. This is an experimental work like taking notes of the experiments
of working on printmaking, figuring out new material methods of working
in printmaking, It is a work that can be called trying to create new
techniques for how to process prints, which I personally think the print
industry in Thailand may not be able to keep up with.
