Jirapat Tasanasomboon was born in 1971 in Samut Prakan and completed his Masters Degree from Silapakorn University in 1999. He applies a pop-art style to his subjects and often features well known superheroes and movie icons. His heroes are depicted in a distinctive Thai setting and are often seen interacting with traditional Thai heroes and mythical figures, most of whom are characters in the Ramayana. It might be seen as an indicator of the complex relationship between Thailand and of its closest allies. Sometimes a loving relationship, but at other times struggling. Jirapat has participated in several shows in Thailand and also had his debut in Korea in 2003.
