For Pajonyut Puvijarn the landscapes and people that are part of his daily life in Bangkok are a clear source of inspiration. Therefore, the artist immortalizes the lotuses blooming in the rivers he crosses during his long walks through the fields surrounding the Thai capital. The uniqueness of his work lies, in part, in his skillful technique: Pajoniut paints exclusively with a knife, applying a large amount of oil paint, which gives his art an impression of fluidity, then completes it by adding a thin layer of gold leaf that makes his works glisten wherever they are exhibited.
