I did not work in the area that I had studied after I graduated, though I did work in design and advertising and it was an interesting experience. But after 10 years, I felt I needed to seriously start doing things I loved and so I decided to quit my job. I started doing my own paintings. My style is Thai contemporary art, whereby I mix different techniques together. Most of my work is made from waste materials which I always thought would be more useful to recycle rather than throwing it away. The most important aspect of my products is that I make the sculptures with recycled materials. They are lightweight, durable, and cost-effective due to the materials, they are environmentally friendly and I'm reducing waste. This inspired me to share my knowledge, so I opened a small studio to train people who are really interested in learning about recycling materials into sculptures.
