Kitikong Tilokwattanotai was born in 1978 in Lampang, Thailand. He lives and works in Chiang Mai in the north of the country.

He graduated from the Chiang Mai School of Fine Arts and obtained a Master’s degree from the University of New South Wales in Australia.

Kitikong is a well-established abstract artist in Thailand. He works mainly in printmaking, painting and mixed media. Using graphic representations of color, his creations embody emotions and personal experiences. Inspired by calligraphic writing, Tilokwattanotai attempts to find beauty in visual language. He explores the mediums of color and gesture to express the memory of the experiences that have formed his life’s journey. The emotions resulting from these experiences are the inspiration for his latest works. In expressing the fluidity of the narratives, Kitikong also contemplates the reasons behind the spontaneity of his expressions, and uses his creations as a medium for introspection.

His work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including Passés Composés, galerie arnaud Lebecq, Paris (2023); Day Dreaming, Art Porters, Singapore, Distance and existence, SAC gallery , Bangkok (2022); Intentional Chances, SAC Gallery, Bangkok, Générations Abstraites, galerie arnaud Lebecq (2021); DDESSIN Paris, galerie arnaud Lebecq, Paris (2020); Color Playground, Art Porters, Singapore (2019), etc…
Kitikong’s work is displayed in several public and private collections, including the Tisco Museum in Bangkok, the Rachamankha Hotel, UNSW College of Fine Arts and Chiang-Mai University.

Kitikong also created and manages the Chiang-Mai Art on Paper (C.A.P) Studio, a printmaking studio that has grown from its early modest beginnings into a growing creative center. He is an accomplished printmaker and motivated entrepreneur who actively encourages and promotes both emerging and established artists.
