Nitcha Khampradit

Cviisual Art Studio is proud to feature the landscape oil paintings of Nitcha Khampradit.

A Thai-born artist with a deep-seated reverence for traditional culture, Nitcha’s studio practice is an extension of her spiritual life. Following the Buddhist path with a devotion to Hindu traditions, her creative day begins with ritual offerings—a practice of mindfulness that flows directly into her vibrant, tactile canvases.

While Nitcha occasionally explores religious iconography, her primary fascination lies in the rugged soul of the Australian bush.

Her work is a technical study of ‘skin and bone,’ focusing specifically on the intricate textures of tree bark. Using palette knives and oil paint exclusively, she builds thick, impasto layers to recreate the sculptural ridges and weathered surfaces of native timber. This heavy texture allows the light to play across the canvas, mimicking the way sunlight filters through a forest canopy.

Though Nitcha began her painting journey ten years ago, her work is underpinned by a lifelong mastery of draftsmanship. Self-taught but technically rigorous, she possesses the rare ability to draw complex natural forms with remarkable speed and anatomical accuracy.

This foundation allows her to move beyond mere representation, using the palette knife to carve out landscapes that feel as ancient and enduring as the traditions she carries with her.
