Piti Sedthee was born in 1956 in Bangkok and currently lives and works in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He is known as a self-taught artist, and many of his works convey purity, honesty, freedom, and directness to the viewers. One source of inspiration for Piti’s “Disappeared Monalisa” series comes from newspaper photos and the faces of people featured in weekly magazines.
His drawings portray people’s faces from media headlines, family members, sceneries from his imagination, and the shocking news he encounters daily.
