Phasuthorn Bamrungphuej

Phasuthorn Bamrungphuej is a Bangkok-based illustrator and contemporary visual artist, and the creator of Backpack Sir Sir, Akira Dragonfly, and Kettlr — character-driven universes that explore vulnerability, emotional tension, and the quiet psychology of belonging.

His artistic journey began in childhood under the encouragement of an elementary school art teacher. Although he paused painting during adolescence, the foundation remained. Formal training in Art, followed by a professional career in graphic design, multimedia, and illustration, eventually led him back to painting with a renewed conceptual depth.

Today, his practice bridges digital precision and painterly intuition. Working across illustration, digital art, and canvas-based media, he develops narrative series in which recurring characters function as emotional carriers — reflecting themes of identity, protection, migration, and collective presence.

Each body of work is constructed as a cohesive visual ecosystem, allowing collectors to engage not only with individual artworks, but with an evolving narrative world. His series-based approach makes the work suitable for long-term collection development and curatorial dialogue.
