Work Details
Fragile Presence, 2026, 100 x 81.5 cm, Oil on linen (framed)
“Furry” represents the artist himself, while the Fay(girl) symbolizes humanity. Smith created this portrait using traditional academic painting techniques, particularly those developed in the Netherlands since the Renaissance. The work is built through multiple layers of transparent oil paint, creating depth and luminosity.
The Fay carries cleaning tools, symbolizing the ongoing effort to clear and restore the human mind.
The headphones represent the psychological barriers we construct to cope with the unavoidable violence and noise of contemporary life. The swimming rings further suggest a desire for protection and emotional resilience.
Smith worked on several canvases simultaneously, alternating between them to maintain focus and a fresh perspective throughout the painting process.

He has become an artist at the forefront of the Thai art scene with his remarkable expression and originality.
