ARTIST BIO
Natthapong Samakkaew is a visual artist based between Berlin and Krabi, whose practice centers on live drawing as a way of observing and connecting with the world around him.
He also expands his live drawing practice onto canvas and into other mediums such as sculpture, video, installation, and printed matter, allowing the work to shift in form while remaining grounded in direct observation.
