Series
Phasuthorn Bamrungphuej’s practice explores psychological presence within constructed environments. Across recurring figures such as Akira, Kettlr, and their companion forms, the work examines states of solitude, emotional transition, and quiet endurance.
Rather than depicting specific narratives, the paintings create suspended atmospheres — spaces where stillness carries tension and transformation unfolds subtly.
Through repetition of character and variation of setting, the body of work becomes an evolving meditation on awareness, vulnerability, and the fragile continuity of being.
Between Taiwan & Japan Series
A reflective body of work influenced by migration, cultural memory, and emotional displacement. These pieces explore atmosphere, distance, and identity through character-based storytelling.
Somewhere in the Rain, Taipei
Acrylic on canvas, 50 × 70 cm, 2026

2026 Acrylic painting on canvas, Size 30 x 40 c.m.

Scenes of Stillness Series

Scenes of Stillness Series
The Akira Dragonfly Series centers on Akira as a recurring psychological figure navigating inner and outer landscapes. He appears at times alone, at times beside Akari — a companion presence that suggests shared emotional space rather than reflection.
In selected works, Akira transforms into a winged form. The dragonfly becomes a symbol of fragility, awareness, and emotional evolution — a quiet shift between vulnerability and transcendence.
Akari in the Tomato Garden [AD01]
Akari appears in a quiet tomato garden, wearing a helmet and gloves, not for battle, but for courage. The word on her helmet was meant to say Fight (ファイト), yet it reads ファトイ instead. This small imperfection reflects how love is often fought for: awkwardly, gently and never perfectly, but sincerely. (Akari — a fairy girl from the Dragonfly Akira series.)
