About

Parita Thanyasirin (1995) is a ceramic artist and floral designer from Bangkok, Thailand. She received a BFA in Ceramics with first-class honours from Silpakorn University in 2018 and will graduate with an MA in Ceramics and Glass from the Royal College of Art in 2024.
She also won the Silver Prize in Craft at the 19th National Ceramics Exhibition in Thailand.
Exhibitions of her work have taken place both in Thailand and  internationally.
In her ceramic creations, Parita draws inspiration from the natural world, incorporating textures from skies, waves, flowers, and other elements of nature. Parita hopes to bring an appreciation for life’s tiny pleasures to a wider audience, where art and craft may coexist. She finds immense satisfaction in exploring the endless possibilities of materials and techniques in ceramics, particularly through her innovative use of coloured clay and glaze.
Soft Solitude
As a florist and the daughter of a family in the flower industry, Parita discovered that the majority of the flowers she deals with are mass-produced and often include artificial fragrances.
On the other hand, when she travelled out of the city to the shore and found the chalk cliff flowers with amazing landscapes, she was captivated by the beauty and experienced a deep connection to nature. At the borderline, the line between a continent and the ocean, emerged her curiosity about her old and new selves, the overwhelmed feelings of losing and becoming, of letting go, and of grasping a new anchor. She wondered how these vulnerable little flowers could survive here, rising from a gigantic, tough stone in this faraway area. This discovery has become the core of her later research on her ceramic collection.
Therefore, through Parita’s ceramic work, she would like to focus on the concept of ‘duality’ (i.e., the expression between fragility and toughness). Soft Solitude’s message is not about its final form but about the process of making it with clay and glaze. Improvising and playing around with her hands-on methodology is the core.
