"My name is Noppadon, and I was born on 19 September 1982 in Bangkok. I have enjoyed art ever since I was a child. I liked to draw so much that my parents supported my desire to study art seriously. Art makes me feel lively and cheerful.
"When I studied at the University my major was in Fine Arts. I am very happy and proud to have graduated there, because it was a great environment for me. It offered me the opportunity to realize my dream of getting to know more about such an interesting subject.
"Today I feel that what I am doing is useful to many, so it makes me feel good to do this work. One of my goals in life is to keep trying my best at everything I do, that's why I feel happy and proud when people appreciate the work I do. My goal is to open my own store someday.
"Where I come from, basket weaving is a regular activity but the products are not really appreciated as people consider them to be regular, everyday kind of items. Therefore, I decided to use baskets instead of the regular canvas to paint and develop my art. That way, I am also giving a new, modern image to something regarded as ordinary.
"I like to paint on unusual materials as well as in different surfaces. My inspiration comes from the environment, which is important and beautiful. It is Nature's work of art."
