Embarking on his career in 1991 as a freelance sculpture artist, Pawarest Choksaen (Doe) (b.1970, Bangkok, Thailand) transitioned into the role of Art Director at an advertising agency in 1997. In 2019, he made the pivotal decision to resign from the advertising agency, embracing a full-time commitment to his passion as a fine artist. In his artistic journey, Choksaen delves into the lives of those in his community, keenly observing their gestures, activities, and diverse perspectives. Through the expressive medium of acrylic paintings, his works become windows into the stories that unfold in the everyday lives of individuals within different contexts.
