Warisara Apisampinwong
— Contemporary artist from Thailand
Warisara Apisampinwong is a semi-abstract style who presents her multicultural background by combining small elements from both cultures into her work. Sharing these cultures through woodcut print, the artist makes a successful effort to deliver their ideas with a technique which fits best with the style.
Background
Apisampiwong was inspired by their own family who are of Chinese descent. “The way of life, including tradition and culture of my Thai-Chinese ancestry has been implanted in my mind. To reflect the uniqueness of our respect towards our ancestors is quite a remarkable part of my culture,” Apisampinwong states. It shows the gratitude and remembrance that one may feel towards a distant family member, a special piece in the family history. To accentuate these two cultures and combine them in my art piece represents that uniqueness and expresses my proud honour to be a product of the two nationalities.
Concept
The artist was inspired from the story of Thai-Chinese descents who have dominated a whole community in Thailand. This is to show the multicultural society that we live in and the difference in culture, which brings forth different lifestyles to explore. Thai-Chinese individuals are closely connected to many ritualistic beliefs that relate to paying respect to their ancestors — the artist finds loyalty and companionship within these religious events and expresses this through their work. Apart from that, the illustration of love within family and culture is also painted through the technique of woodcut prints which transmits the feeling of celebrating tradition and cultural value.
