The Artist

A self taught painter and drawer, Kowit Sernklang likes he most to mimic real life photos of animals and people, using his carbons and pastels. Once he is done selecting his subject, he makes a very meticulous job of recreating on the canvas every single detail from the picture, adding to shadows, reworking colours and drawing lines until every single detail lives up to his (high) expectations. A master of copy – but never an imitator, he sees in his work a search for the real and true impressions of life, sometimes spendings hours on a detail until his works are, well, realer than the real one. He use this time of works, not thinking about hours or minutes passing by, to let his mind wander hand his hands work by themselves. It’s this reflection, close to mediation, that he tries to exhibit in his works, subliming by this added sense, the original picture that inspired him.
