RACHATA SIRIYAKUL (b. 1993)


Rachata Siriyakul was born in Thailand in 1993. He received a Diploma in Fine Arts with Best Performance from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore, in 2015. He subsequently trained at the School of John Angel in Florence, Italy, and studied under the supervision of Norwegian painter Odd Nerdrum in 2018.


Working primarily with oil on linen, Rachata draws upon classical European figurative painting and the layered methods of the Venetian Renaissance. Through gradual applications of colour, glazing, tonal depth, and repeated revision, he constructs atmospheric scenes drawn from mythology, history, religion, and literature. Figures emerge from shadowed environments in which beauty, violence, mortality, faith, and human conflict coexist.


In The Opposite Route to Celestial Light (2022) and Since the Time Immemorial (2023), both presented at Number 1 Gallery, Rachata reconsidered inherited narratives through a contemporary psychological perspective. His works have subsequently been presented by the gallery at Hotel Art Fair and Art Busan, while his portraiture was selected for the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Annual Exhibition at Mall Galleries, London, in 2026.
