About me / Bio:
Fua Haripitak, born on April 22, 1910, in Thonburi, Bangkok, was a distinguished Thai artist known for his contributions to traditional Thai art. The son of a court painter, Fua was deeply influenced by his father's profession and the works of Rabindranath Tagore. He studied at the Poh Chang School of Arts and Crafts and later at Silpakorn University under the tutelage of Silpa Bhirasri. His education was interrupted by World War II, during which he was interned by the British authorities in India. Despite this setback, he created significant works like 'Japanese Internment Camp, Purana Qila,' showcasing Asian cubism. Fua's dedication to art continued post-war, with studies in Rome and numerous accolades, including gold medals at the Annual Exhibition of Thai Art. A professor at Silpakorn University for 28 years, Fua's passion extended to the preservation of classical Thai murals, notably leading the restoration of Wat Rakhang's archive building, a project that took a toll on his health. In 1983, he was honored with the Magsaysay Award for his efforts in preserving Thailand's graphic and architectural heritage. Fua passed away on October 19, 1993, leaving behind a legacy of artistic excellence and cultural preservation.
