The notion that all life and matter on Earth is made of a combination of complex and minuscule indivisible components has been widely postulated in natural philosophy. The idea is found in the early Hinduism and Buddhism of the Far East, and in the West, in Ancient Greece, the philosopher Democritus developed his atomic model, where everything in the universe comes down to atoms and the void between them.
This concept resonates in Amnaj Wachirasut’s work. Looking at his paintings, you can almost see living and moving particles within the image, whether it is an abstraction or a landscape void of people. Yet there is life, something stirring within the ambience of his work.
The artist believes in the soul of the elements surrounding us, everything is one and at the same time, forms different entities. Each affects and mirrors the others, transferring energy and keeping the universe, and our life within it, in balance.

Liberating himself from the finished work, the artist has left the artwork to freely and directly converse with viewers, transferring the control and interpreting power from the creator to the audience.
