Zillv is a  Born 1987 in Sawi, Chumphon. A small humble province south of Thailand, 

I began to discover my own preference toward art while I was travelling on the train to Bangkok when I was 6 years old. With an impression from the exposure to the city atmosphere that seemed so different from the countryside, the large city with distinguish and beautiful architectures in Bangkok led me to fall into the charm of the city. I would like to collect the memories that I had seen from my eyes and that was the beginning point for me to practice drawing my travel memories since then.  

Drawing was one thing I could only do in my age at that time and from many years of practice, I began to interest to study art in Bachelor degree level,Silapakorn University. After graduated, I started to work as an artist who drew advertising works for a while before shifting to be a professional artist and joining the art exhibitions. 

         I use micro pigment ink and magnifying glass in my drawing works to collect all the tiny details of the city to be as perfectly as possible. Micro pigment ink is found to be able to collect all the tiny details simply as making note or murals painting. It is a creative own style in form of “contemporary travel map journal”. 

        This map invites viewers to experience the joy of travel, where the journey is not merely about moving from one place to another, but about delighting in the intricate details of the neighborhoods surrounding each station in the city, and truly immersing in the life of each area. Viewing the map may spark a desire to explore and embrace new experiences. The city, depicted in such a complex manner, reflects the nature of urban travel—rich with diverse routes and choices. Travel is not just about reaching a destination; it’s about engaging with the complexity and uniqueness of each part of the city.

        Thus, the cherished memories of travel, as captured in this image, lie in appreciating the beauty and intricacy of urban journeys. Through a profound and nuanced perspective, the journey transforms into an encounter with detail and the joy of discovery with every step. In this way, the beauty of city travel becomes a healing experience.
