Boonyarith, a Thai-born artist studying and practising in Melbourne/Naarm. His technique is skilful, with tangible textures and vivid colours. Through his previous practical study about subconsciousness, Boonyarith embraces the thought of Surrealism, reinterpreting and representing abnormal images in which dreams can reveal hidden truths, provide insight into reality and provoke unconsciousness.

Dreams are curious things. They conceal and reveal at the same time, distorting what we think we know while offering glimpses of something deeper. They transform familiar experiences into something unfamiliar, blurring the line between reality and imagination.

What we dream about is often rooted in our lived experiences, yet dreams seem to create their own reality—a dimension that feels real but exists just out of reach. In this series, I explore these dreamscapes, reinterpreting symbols and creating surreal landscapes that invite reflection on the spaces between presence and absence.

The voids within these works are not empty; they hold a quiet tension, charged with the interplay of memory, imagination, and perception. These paintings aren’t meant to explain or define but to offer a space where viewers can pause, wonder, and navigate their own interpretations—much like the nature of dreams themselves.
