Pachara Piyasongsoot (b. 1985) is a Thai artist born and raised in Bangkok. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture, and Graphic Arts at Silpakorn University. In his early works, Pachara explored themes of identity and memory, before shining focus to social and political contexts, the paintings are remarkable for their narration of political, labor, and social history, as well as for questioning the memory and identity of the artist.

The use of his unique visual language unleashes the viewer's perception to work at its fullest.
