Description

The wandering mind inspired

A unique human characteristic is our ability to mind wander. The time when our attention drifts away from the present. Sometimes, our mind tends to regale in varied thoughts which can disrupt our present. This artwork illustrates the nature of the human mind that likes to wander away. We sometimes freely or unintentionally think of something but still attach to the present. She conveys this with birds fly out from the woman’s head while still being bound with ropes. Rather than dismissing mind wandering as a source of distraction, it should be embraced as a tool and used properly in order to maximise our creativity and productivity.

Get to know Tongjit Torsuwan

Tongjit Torsuwan, aka Pang Torsuwan, is a self-taught and ultra-talented artist based in Bangkok, Thailand. Before Pang made her way in the art industry, she graduated with a Political Science degree but with a love of painting, she developed herself to become an artist who now has a great amount of fans. She is sure a person who is working from the heart.

After working in advertising and marketing for six years, in 2012 she resigned from work and decided to pursue her passion in art by establishing a brand of printed bags and scarves named ‘Pang Torsuwan’. She designed all of the prints for her personal line. As of 2017, her focus has shifted from the fashion business to fine art. Currently, Pang continues to create personal work and also work as a freelance illustrator and print designer. She encountered many difficulties before her works began to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and collectors and she has to encourage herself often.

Pang’s art is influenced femininity and fashion inspired by women’s stories. Her love of arts inspired her to work on her pieces. Her inspiration mostly comes from surrealism, collage, and abstract.

Surrealism is her style!

Pang Torsuwan is lover of surrealist art. Surrealism is a style in art and literature in which ideas, images, and objects are combined in a strange way, like in a dream. It aims to revolutionise the human experience. It balances a rational vision of life with one that asserts the power of the unconscious and dreams. The movement’s artists find magic and strange beauty in the unexpected and the uncanny, the disregarded and the unconventional. This is how Pang Torsuwan expresses her feeling that is full of emotions and dreams, and transfer it on her canvas!
