Who is Thavika?
Thavika Savangwongsakul (b. 2000) lives and works in Bangkok. Thavika’s practice often involves mixed mediums with expressive and aggressive brush strokes portraying random thoughts and wandering feelings. Acknowledging these conversations that are both mumbles and grumbles, she conveys these into her wide array of mediums that ranges from oil paint, acrylic paint, spray paint, graffiti marker, pastel, oil pastel, charcoal, colored pencil, to collage. Despite straying from what she had initially planned, her works accumulate into countless discoveries that bring her to new places.
