March
of
every
year,
the
arrival
of
the
summer
season
in
Thailand.
A
country
that
is
fortunate
to
have
mountains
and
seas,
winds,
sunshine,
and
a
constant
stream
of
artistry
that
reflect
feelings
and
make
art
a
reflection
of
living.
The
continuation
of
the
idea
from
the
young
age
of
the
artist
who
wants
to
find
out
what
life
wants.
Interviewing
Natrada
Bee
Charupipattananon
is
my
pride:
having
the
opportunity
to
chat
with
a
woman
artist
living
in
the
eastern
part
of
Thailand,
not
far
from
the
Gulf.
Doing
her
work
with
passion
and
learning
she
enjoys
aligning
life
to
make
each
day
count.
And
her
work
has
people
who
like
it.
The key to work is love and willingness to learn.
Create
happiness
and
share
various
feelings
throughout
the
creation.
It's
simple
and
charming
at
the
same
time.
JY.
Please tell me about yourself.
BC.
My nickname is Bee. I was Born in Nakhon Ratchasima Province,
currently in Bangkok, but the house is in theChachoengsao area. It is the
border area of Chachoengsao, next to Bangkok, Lat Krabang District, so
most of my life is in the Bangkok area.
I was impressed with drawing since childhood. I wanted to draw good
Japanese manga until the end of the third year of high school. Then I
decided to continue studying in the vocational line at Rajamangala
Institute of Technology Northeastern Thak Campus which has now
changed to Rajamangala University of Technology, Isaan.
I took my entrance examination for the Faculty of Fine Arts. That was the
starting point for a full study of art. Studied until the end of the second
year, Diploma level, then took the entrance examination at Rajamangala
University of Technology Thanyaburi, Pathum Thani Province, entrance
examination to study at the degree level. Studied for a Bachelor's there for
two years.
After graduating, immediately worked, but did not yet create artwork of my
own. During the graduating period, it was as if I was still searching for
myself. My first job was designing, painting, and clothing patterns, and the
second job was moved to work in Pattaya with friends and brothers at the
institute where I had studied in the first place.
Reproduction drawings of foreign artists in the old days are like starting to
draw, new again... real drawing. But the work that I have studied is not the
same. Initially discouraged, more than I can do but finally got through and
got a better experience, better at drawing.
I asked permission to mention the name of Galli who worked with me at
the kc art gallery. This place I liked, it was another "school" of mine. But
later I changed my line of work to become a company employee as a
designer of jewelry in Bangkok for four years.Working as a jewelry
designer, exporting abroad is very challenging and a lot of fun. Finally it
came to a turning point. I decided to quit my full-time job, wanting to come
out and work independently and stopped drawing for 11 years. During that
time, I got married had a family with a daughter named Talay, raised my
own child, and worked small jobs, such as designing jewelry, painting
clothes, and selling at Flea markets and online. When my daughter started
to grow up, she attended school. Therefore, I had more time. I started
drawing again. I started to draw pictures of people doing yoga, which at
that time I drew every day, drew and uploaded pictures on Facebook and
Instagram, and this was probably the beginning of my artwork.
JY.
Tell me about your artwork.
BC.
My interesting painting work became a job that could earn income.
Today it is natural scenery drawing and imaginative works such as the sea,
lotus pond, and a paper boat. First of all, it is seen. Other artists portrayed
the sea very beautifully. Therefore, it caused the desire to paint the sea. In
addition, I was very fond of the atmosphere of the sea, and the beautiful,
fresh, peaceful colors, sometimes looked mysterious and scary. Studied
visits from many artists. I began to draw the sea; the first pictures are very
small pieces.
I am good at painting with oil paints, so I use oil paint techniques on canvas
frames. Sometimes acrylic paints.
JY.
Which artist do you particularly like?
BC.
My first favorite artist is Claude Monet, an impressionist painter, and
an important painter of France in the 19th to 20th centuries.
The second is Andreea Ionela Berindei who was born on October 2, 1985 in
Romania (she's 37 years old now).
She is most famous for her landscape and portrait paintings. They often
include the ocean, water, and other natural elements and shades.
The third is Eva Volf from Cleveland. Original seascape oil paintings.
Actually, I like a lot of artists but these three people are my inspiration in
drawing the sea.
JY.
Who are the collectors of your works?
BC.
My collectors are generally people who like beautiful art at a
reasonable price. There are also some foreigners. It will be friends who
know each other on Instagram... he sees the work and likes and asks to buy.
I'm just someone who likes to draw and enjoys drawing every day. At this
time, I only think of this. It may sound strange to many painters who
dream of exhibiting at various galleries or having a contest to make a name
for themselves. Each person has different dreams. At present, I am happy
to work on drawing what I want to draw and share. Pictures for those who
love my paintings.
