My first exhibition reflecting the ways of Thai rural life was held in 1967. Content and concept were devided into two categories : children at play and daily life. My work has been particularly inspired by the mural paintings of Thai temples. In 1964 , I visited Japan and was favorably impressed at the interesting work of Japanese artists. Then , from 1965 - 66 , I went to study art in Germany. At that time , I sketched a number of pictures for wood cutting. When I returned to Thailand in 1967 , I continued working on wood cutting and produced some ninety wood block pieces. From this , the focus of my artistic interest has shifted from Thai lifeways to an idealistic style which I feel is the new era of my creativity.
