ARTIST STATEMENT

Over the past years, my practices have been a way of returning to, and reflection on my own life.

May thoughts pass through me, and I find myself questioning, again and again, what it is we truly seek.

Like many others, I have reached for different things, believing they might fill something within.

Yet the more I search, it never quite feels enough.

The idea of “freedom” began to quietly emerge.

Until one day, I asked myself – what is freedom, really?

Perhaps freedom is not about finding answers, but about no longer needing to search at all.

It is in being present, and seeing that everything simply arrives and eventually passes.

I often find myself looking at the sky, realizing that nothing is every still, not even for a single moment.

Everything is constantly changing- like clouds, shifting form as they keep moving forward.

And so is the human mind.

Looking at the sky, it reminds me of how small we are.

And within that smallness, something in the heart begins to loosen, becoming softer and lighter.

In my earlier works, I often worked with dense lines and instinctive gestures.

But in this body of work, I chose to reduce-

To soften, to remove lines, to quiten the movenet.

And to let go of the need to explain.

It became a process of refinement- of slowly releasing what is unncessary, allowing only what is essential.

And in that process, a sense of lightness has begun to emerge.

The Truth That You Believe

Works

ARTIST STATEMENT

“The truth that you believe,
What we remember,
Is never everything.
What we believe
Is never the same.
There is no fixed truth
Only perspectives in motion.
Each piece may stand alone
Or be rearranged,
Allowing new meanings to emerge.
Each arrangement
Becomes a different truth.”

ARTIST STATEMENT

“I’ve come to realize the true essence of necessity in life. There was once a period when I yearned for things I believed were essential. Today, we’re surrounded by so much that we deem indispensable, making life without them seem challenging. Yet, in truth, we need so little to truly live. My travels taught me this resilience and the ability to thrive with minimalism. Upon reflection, this insight compelled me to approach my art differently. I aim to challenge convention by stripping away the superfluous elements, even redefining the shapes within my pieces. I’m curious to see if by focusing solely on the essentials, my art and the time I devote to it will undergo a transformation. It’s during these moments that I truly connect with the essential rhythms of life.”

ARTIST STATEMENT

With lines and colors, BeChanida finds beauty in the emotional palette of everyday life, opting to vividly distill impressions through abstract painting, rather than figurative representation. Her lines capture the essence of moments that are hard to put into words, enriching and expanding the domain of feeling and beauty. 

The Novel

Works

ARTIST STATEMENT

“Mythology – I used to think that my life was very far removed from fantasy stories, perhaps because my past life depended heavily on the harsh realities of life. It taught me to be someone who sees only the truth and never admired anything about mythology or fairy tales. But as time passed, I started working in art, and I had more time for myself. As I grew older, I saw myself in my youth, which I had tried to forget. Different images resurfaced one by one.

BIOGRAPHY

BeChanida narrates her reflections, recollections, and emotional experiences into the physical world of visual poetry through a myriad of mediums, expressing that which cannot be put into words.

After spending several years traveling the world as a flight attendant and hopping from museum to museum, BeChanida finally let her inner calling begin to take its own flight through trials and experiments with different mediums and styles. In her artistic pursuit, BeChanida has learned more about the realm of art as much as about life and its complexities. Her range of subjects have expanded from a series of portraits to encapsulated emotions and fragments of condensed impressions.

Her journey from an art enthusiast to a fully-fledged artist has led her to several group and solo exhibitions—and a chance for quiet conversations between the painter and the viewers with feelings and thoughts that transpire from spontaneous self-expression and conceptual narratives.
