Therdkiat Wangwatcharakul was born in 1971 and graduated with his Masters Degree in fine art from Silapakorn University in 2003. He paints with oil on aluminum sheets and the unusual use of this material enables him to play with light and shadow in a unique way. He paints everyday scenes from the city where the aluminum creates an effect of intimacy and optimism.
