Thaweesak Srithongdee was born in 1970 and graduated with a Master in Fine Art from Silapakorn University. His style echoes the influence of Surrealism and Pop Art. Thaweesak is a keen observer of people, their physical and mental characteristics. Using his imagination, in his work he goes on to ponder whether people's features are related to their behaviour, culture, social standing and other aspects. The result is a series of pop-erotic paintings, filled with symbols depicting his interpretations of and feelings about other human beings. As viewers react differently to various symbols, he expects his audience to see his works in a variety of ways, using different interpretations, based on personal experiences. Thaweesak has participated in several group exhibitions in Thailand. Moreover, he had a successful solo show in Amsterdam, Netherlands in 2000, and has also exhibited in Germany (2000), Great Britain (2001) and Singapore (2001, 2003, 2004). He was awarded a residency at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Japan in 2005 and participated in the Fukuoka Triennale in the same year. Museum collections include Singapore Art Museum and Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. His paintings recently sold at Sotheby's Auctions.
