Please tell me more about the stories of courage in creating nude works The
hardest thing is to struggle with your own knowledge.
SC.
That's it, when creating a work of female nudity. The question stream that often
follows is “Is it a picture of us?” “Aren't you embarrassed to write about your naked
body?” Sometimes it might be a question that really wants to know my thoughts. But
often it is a negative attitude. which if asked Why use a humanoid that is my own
body? In this section I want to challenge the viewer's gaze. and show courage in
expressing oneself physicall.y Not to mention that I am female and therefore more
attractive or more expressive. In this sense it is not what I want. The beauty I want to
share is purely human, regardless of gender status. We still have beauty in all human
beings. However, today's society's perception of the form of the work rather
challenges the traditions, culture, and traditions. In this sense, I refer back to the
beginning of my creation. Originally, I grew up in the traditions of the northern
region. which is strong in terms of masculinity The status of females is therefore
characterized as shy according to the style of literature or stories of beautiful
northern women. This may seem exaggerated to the eyes of an outsider looking in.
But in what I have encountered throughout my life and studies, I am quite familiar
with the customs I encountered. My early expressions also conveyed traditional
depictions of women. That is, women are also compared to objects that show their
worth. This is different from the current gender in my work. Have your own identity,
have your own courage. This was very challenging in the area of society in which I
grew up. Yet my work continues to express the courage of women who stand up for
themselves. It is not a form of sexual seduction or a metaphor for an object in any
way.
JY.
Connecting with femininity, many of your paintings explore the female form.
Can you discuss the importance of representing femininity in your art? And does this
contribute to your overall artistic narrative? Viewer Interpretation: Art can allow for
many different interpretations. You will navigate and accept different methods. How
might the viewer interpret your nude paintings and what message or theme do you
hope they take away from your work?.
SC.
The overall theme of the work is about physical expression that can express the
struggle against the perception of femininity. I myself wanted to convey a different
perspective of the female body than the status of pleasure. In looking only. But it is
also hidden by fighting in the eyes of society. That said, women are not always in a
state where they can completely express themselves physically. In this respect, the
outlook of Thai society may not be the same as before. Women play a greater role in
society. But at the same time, it cannot be denied that the view of women as sexual
objects is still often portrayed. This is the method I choose to use to fight against the
eyes and perspectives of the Samakhom. And my work is part of the space of status
expression where the proud can express the beauty of their human status. It is not
something that stimulates sexual desire in any way. I just want to invite the viewer to
see the beauty in the expression of the true human body. That is expressed honestly
in terms of the body, which is something that we all have different identities.
JY.
Tell me more about the new expected jobs that may occur in a future Solo show
of one's own paintings and their own sculptures. You want to show your work and be
accepted both in Thailand and abroad.
SC.
Progress of the work from when I was in undergraduate study. I am still in the
beginning stages of learning oil painting. Research, experiment and study concepts.
The first series of works will be about passion and beliefs and religion that link good
and bad about the female body as a symbol of invitation. and provoke emotions to
create desires according to religious teachings. As I studied in the northern region,
art and culture are quite strong and very intense. Therefore I received quite a bit of
influence. But I wanted to create a body of work that moves outside of the cultural
framework, that binds female sexuality to being shy and quiet. I would like to
continue learning in both skills and concepts. Therefore, I decided to study for a
master's degree. at Silpakorn University, Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic
Arts. So I learned to research information in more depth. And the body of work
began to be strong when it came to painting nude women. I liberated myself from old
ideas about women. Creating a nude picture of yourself which expresses the right to
express itself of one's own body Dare to face and stand by your own nudity until now.
