Wattanapong has chosen oil on canvas as a technique to delivers his impression toward each breathtaking scenarios, especially what’s going on above the sky. “Looking up to the only sky, there’s an endlessly stories to be discovered: circulation of season, astronomy’s phenomenons, or even a shifting between day and night.”, said the artist. He captured both the scene and his own feeling to be interpret through art work. Moreover, he saw art working as a journaling of a life time’s memories. “It’s like collecting sensation and impression of circumstances then story telling with the right medium, recreating what would remind you of what you had seen or experienced”, added Wattanapong.

Color of the Wind : The first of the series

“Color of the wind” is a painting series consisting of five decorative petite size art works. In this series, the artist chose each different color combination for certain timing of the sky. The idea behind this is simple but touching as it’s about the beauty out of the sky’s variation created by continuously wind blowing. Which depends on one’s imagination about what they would think of according to those setting. For the artist, sometime the feelings bursting while an observation would reflect his inner thought at that moment.

This fourth piece of the series, the darkest amongst all, is of the blended warm tone color. Gradient from the bottom up, lychee pink to orange, then red and finally dark purple. The artist chose this one to represent the continually movement that replace the day by the night, the nighty wind blew those cloud reaching the warm sunset sky and welcoming the moon.
