Color & Water is a collection of beautiful moments in life, featuring pictures of swaying trees and grass, clouds drifting past the morning sun, ripples in canals, houses nestled among towering mountains, or bustling cities. Chotvich Suwongs, a freelance artist with over 20 years of experience, has sought, observed, and captured these traces of time using the simple elements of "color" and "water" to convey fleeting moments that would leave a lasting impression on viewers. We can feel that the moment before and the moment after are not the same. A boat sails by and disappears, ripples turn into larger waves, delicate flowers and leaves quickly wither. These ordinary movements are skillfully woven together by Chotvich through his mastery of "color" and "water."
Chotvich Suwongs graduated from the Faculty of Decorative Arts, Silpakorn University. He worked in magazines and publishing for over 30 years before returning to painting after retirement, driven by his love of art. Chotvich chose "art" as the final profession of his delicate life, despite having worked in several fields, including writing, photography, and graphic design.
Chotvich’s work is simple, much like his personality, which finds joy in the little things of daily life. He carefully observes minute details while enjoying the contemplation of the flow of "color" and "water," which beautifully adds dimension to everything in nature.
