Drawing by Pimlada Phuapradit

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK?
My series of personal works are based on the juxtaposition of broken objects, abandoned places, characters of unknown persons, hybrids and insects.

PLEASE SHARE WITH US YOUR WORKING PROCESS
I rely on the same process of drawing as I drew when I was  a child.
Follow the instinct and let the fracture of vague ideas grow.
