Bangkok based illustrator and artist Suthipa Kamyam depicts elements of the natural world in great detail, letting form and shape dictate her vision. She brings intensity and density to trees, movement and mellifluousness to flowers and foliage; capturing the living, breathing, often hidden, energy of it all. Her reduced colour palette and whimsical names add even more emotion to the magic.
In her own words:
“I always start my work with stories from nature, where most of my inspirations come from. In my view, nature has the most unbelievable stories in itself. What we know is such a little thing, while there are a lot of untold secrets to be discovered. I enjoy observing and I am always amazed by all these living things.”
Below we show a selection of her illustrations of plants. More artworks can be found on her website.
