Panin is a famous, award-winning Thai Post-war painter. He studied art in Silpakorn University, Bangkok. He completed his studies at Atelier Hayter, in Paris. A giant talent in contemporary Thai art, he is now eagerly sought internationally, particularly in Europe and The Americas. His sensitive, sensuous paintings reflect a deep love-affair between impeccable techniques and the outer-limits of erotic creativity. His theme is Woman; mystic, wistful, fragrant, eternal, ethereal, elfin, aware, carnal, powerful .... yet ever-alluring, ever-lovable! He won several medals for art at the National Exhibition of Art in Thailand throughout the 1960s, amongst others. He held solo exhibitions in Bangkok, Paris & New York, and group shows in Bahrain & Sao Paulo. In Australia, Panin's works were exhibited and purveyed through the De’Lisle Gallery, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast at Montville.
