Emotions of Bangkok

Artist: Rei Hayase

I have been creating art in Bangkok for about 10 years. Throughout my career, I have felt a deep sense of nostalgia and emotion towards the Thai landscape, which I express through my drawings. I would like to hold an exhibition featuring Japanese painting, a unique style of painting from Japan, to promote friendship between Thailand and Japan.

The exhibition “Emotions of Bangkok” reflects the moments of feelings, nostalgia, and emotions towards Bangkok, conveyed through the perspective of travel and exploration — depicting buildings, streets, and the serene atmosphere that represents another side of this vibrant city. These are expressed through the ancient Japanese technique of Nihonga (日本画), a style of painting that uses mineral pigments combined with other organic pigments on paper.
