ABOUT CHONTICHA
Chonticha Hanon is a Belgian-Thai painter based between locations as a digital nomad. She paints domestic scenes built from recurring objects, patterns, and still-life arrangements. Her work traces emotional shifts and questions of belonging through solitary female figures, cats, plants, and familiar details that return across paintings as anchors.
Living between cultures and expectations, she builds scenes where belonging is self-made. A meditative sensibility shapes the work, grounded in non-attachment: emotion is present but held with restraint, carried through fluid brushstrokes and space rather than literal display. The decorative elements become a form of attention, where pattern and arrangement leave room for contemplation.
Working primarily in gouache and acrylic, she distills emotion into simplified forms and tactile surfaces. Cats recur as quiet companions marking subtle shifts within each scene. Bright colour and pattern offer space for what remains unspoken.
She earned a degree in Graphic Design in France in 2013 and worked in the field before committing to painting full-time in 2022. Her practice is shaped by years of sustained observation and experimentation with color and form. Her work can be found in private collections internationally.
