Jiratchaya Pripwai was born in 1983 in Kalasin, Thailand, and moved to Chiang Mai when she was four.
She obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Chiang Mai University and a Master of Fine Arts in Painting from Silpakorn University, Thailand. She participated in artist residencies in Thailand at the Thaillywood Foundation in 2014 and in La Rochelle at Centre Intermondes in 2015. She won the first prize at the 10th Panasonic Contemporary Painting Exhibition, Thailand, in 2008, and received a scholarship from Thai statesman General Tinsulanonda. She was also awarded a bronze medal at the 56th Thai National Art Exhibition in 2010.
Jiratchaya’s artistic skills are expressed in a series of monochrome drawings of interlaced lines. In her creations using acrylic on canvas, Jiratchaya Pripwai remains faithful to her technique where the line gives way to the brushstroke accentuating the inner perspective and depth of a meditative state.
