Meet the Artists
Anan Thathamma
Anan (b.1969, Thailand) spent his childhood living in a Buddhist temple, developing a profound appreciation for religious art.
Anan sought formal art education at the esteemed Alliance Française. Anan’s debut public exhibition, hosted in Bangkok’s prestigious Sukhothai Hotel, garnered critical acclaim and commercial success. Anan’s artwork gained recognition within the expatriate community through exhibitions at Bangkok’s British Club, and was selected by Thailand’s King Rama IX Art Foundation to represent Thai contemporary art globally.
Anan’s artistic process is rooted in meditation and spirituality. His paintings serve as intricate cosmological narratives, seamlessly blending figurative and abstract elements to evoke labyrinthine landscapes of the mind.
After years of exhibiting across Asia, Anan embarked on a European journey to expand his artistic horizons, incorporating these influences into his evolving body of work. Initially catering to private collections in Europe and North America, Anan eventually developed new collections inspired by his new experiences.
