About the artist

Years well spent in creative designing have proved to be the best preparation for Jaruwat's present exclusive dedication to Fine Art. His urbanely-edgy-abstracts are well received at home and abroad. His stunning KOI (Japanese carp fish) compositions brilliantly superimpose thickly applied acrylic on textured fabric to express in vibrant form and colours their essence and symbolism. Jaruwat is keen to penetrate a wider international art market, where his striking originality is bound to impress.
