Nakrob Moonmanas is commonly recognised as a collage artist and illustrator in Thailand. The uniqueness in his work leads to endless interpretation. The Artist selects and seamlessly blends existing artworks with local and outlandish fragments of history and culture together yielding a magnificent composition with the touch of contemporary aesthetic. Having grown up amongst the life of old city Bangkok surrounded by bloody chaotic streets, hundreds year old golden temples, distasteful constructions and western style royal palaces, Moonmanas’s passion, personal interests, experiences embedded with floods of tales and myths and have been molded into his love-hate relationship with his own root.

After university, the Thai Literature graduate started his career as an illustrator. Moonmanas has done editorial and commercial works for noted clients including Thai airways, Mercedes Benz, One Bangkok and Vogue Thailand. A move into the art world came after his intention to prove collage art is more than just 2D cut-and-paste stuff. He turned into a full time artist by sharpening his messages focusing on visual culture and the resistance of memory while trying several techniques from gilding to lenticular printing. The artist exhibited his solo and group exhibitions in art institutions and galleries in Thailand such as Bangkok Art & Culture Centre (BACC).

In 2009 Moonmanas with Naraphat Sakarthornsap exhibited their duo exhibition “The Art of Human Rights” organised by the European Union in Thailand in collaboration with the Rights and Liberties Protection Department (RLPD) of the Ministry of Justice. In 2020, Moonmanas is a laureate of Cité internationale des arts Paris. His artist residency in Paris is supported by Institut français and The embassy of France in Bangkok, Thailand.
