Thai artist Verapat Sitipol takes inspiration from Mother Nature and the environment he grew up in for his art. Marking his European debut at the Parisian gallery, Over The Influence, Verapat’s solo “Magical Forest” is his second show with the gallery, having exhibited with them in Bangkok in January 2022.
The new series of paintings continues to explore his fascination with the natural landscape and his spiritual ideology that everything is interconnected. “Nowadays we encounter more and more effects of global warming. That’s why my latest series is different from before. In 'Magical Forest', I focus on the natural stream from waterfalls. The flowing water is the origin of life, creatures, trees and forests. It brings life, freshness, shade and cool. If blood nourishes the human body, water is the blood of any ecosystem,” Verapat explains.
