Women, Animals, and the Spirit of Nature — An Energetic World Woven from Primary Colors and Patterns
Bew Chayanisa Sriwichainan, an artist from Thailand, weaves women’s inner emotions and the energy of nature into her paintings using bold primary colors and repetitive patterns. Her works often feature figures alongside cats, birds, owls, and butterflies — not merely animals, but symbols of wisdom, protection, freedom, and intuition. Her signature decorative patterns flow with meticulous rhythm, like woven fabric, blurring the boundaries between humans and nature, reality and imagination. In her series True Happiness, she illustrates that genuine joy arises not from possession but from the presence of shared companionship between women and their pets. The Women on Friday / Women on Sunday series vividly explores the spectrum of femininity and emotion associated with each day of the week. Bew says, “Every eye and pattern in my paintings is a mirror reflecting your emotions.”
