Adding Contemporary Hues to the Breath of Tradition

Prathueang Kampat

A Canvas Where Thailand’s Stories of Old and Present Landscapes Converge — A Chronicle in Color
Prathueang Kampat, an artist from Thailand, combines traditional culture with contemporary sensibilities to express Thai life and spirit through art. His work delicately captures cultural elements deeply embedded in everyday Thai life — from temple rooftops and ancient patterns to the colors and sounds of local markets. Working primarily with acrylic and oil, he sometimes incorporates gold leaf, fabric, and natural materials, adding unique texture and depth to his canvases. Prathueang’s paintings are not mere landscapes; they are bridges of memory connecting generations. His signature work, Golden Breeze, depicting the wind over temple roofs in shimmering gold, received widespread acclaim, and at the 2024 Chiang Mai International Art Exhibition, he was praised as “a visual storyteller bridging Thailand’s past and present.” Today, Prathueang Kampat continues to translate the breath of tradition into contemporary colors, inviting viewers to quietly step into the timeless world of Thailand.
