My name is Sirikul Pattachote, though many people know me simply as Kay. I am an artist and designer drawn to the quiet beauty of nature—fresh, decaying, and preserved through pressed forms. My work is guided by the philosophy of impermanence and by a way of living that is simple and slow. Each piece becomes a meditation on stillness—cut, layered, and painted as though memory itself could take shape on paper.
My process begins with close observation: the unfolding of flowers, the rhythm of leaves, the movement of water, the sound of wind, and the thoughts that arise in stillness. Watercolor washes are layered in tones that bring me calm. At times, I cut my paintings into lace-like forms and assemble them on semi-translucent grounds. I focus on simple materials and a slow process, practicing patience and minimalism. In this way, absence becomes as meaningful as presence, and stillness reveals its hidden movement.
My practice is deeply shaped by my heritage. From Zen simplicity to the Buddhist teaching of impermanence, my art reflects a way of living slowly, attentively, and with reverence for what is fleeting.
Through my work, I invite others into this philosophy of quiet living. My art is not only about nature—it is about how we inhabit time, memory, and simplicity.
