About the Artwork:
“Every living being has to experience taking the journey to a land of unknown, during the life after death. None escape to guide the others and reveal the story about the journey. Having the symbolism of sunlight, the sunflowers represent the navigator that directs the lost soul during the voyage to the land of unknown.” – Aof Smith
About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
I graduated with a M.F.A in visual arts from KMITL in Bangkok after received my Bachelor degree of Fine art at Chulalongkorn University, expressing my perception and imagination through the wonders of Pop-Surrealism. The main characters in my work are a fluffy bulldog named Furry, whose curiosity is posted onto everything around him, and a girl who represents pure innocence, revealing the chaotic world, each character revealing feelings of excitement and fear, as well as confusion. Though there are heavy undertones of sorrow throughout the works, there is still a deep sense of purity and perseverance that shines bright. I create works that have their own unique black humor inside.
