Statement from the Artist

Supachat's charming acrylics feature the Asian Elephant in the deceptively simple variety of light hearted settings, and their whimsical originality possesses a particularly attractive pastel palette which is irresistible to local and international art-lovers alike. Supachat's affection for the elephant is expressed in donating part of his proceeds to the Elephant Conservations Centre and Hospital in Lampang, Thailand and to Friends of the Asian Elephant Organisation (FAE).
