Conceived Truths reflects Supawat’s focus on the distinction between the core theologies and mythologies of Buddhism. In his series of interactive artworks, Supawat questions the conflicting yet cohesive elements of Buddhism in the modern era.
His amalgamation of mixed media artworks with motion sensors and programmed lighting give his commentary on the physical and the illusionary unique visual integrity.
He argues for the importance of contemplating the differences between the principle truths and disinformation observed in beliefs across the globe. Supawat Wattanapikowit was born in Bangkok in 1984. He studied at the College of Fine Arts in Ladkrabang before receiving his Bachelors and Masters degrees from Silpakorn University. Supawat currently lives and works in Nonthaburi.
