(10.11.1989)
Chattakan Vongsiri (Kebet), born in 1989, Thailand, graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Arts) in Sculpture from the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture, and Graphic Arts at Silpakorn University in 2013. Chattakan creative works often reflect personal life stories, the emotional states of those around him, and the continuous changes in society’s differences.
Chattakan began his career as a glass artist in 2016 under the affiliation of BGC Glass Studio, an art glass studio supported by BG Container Glass Public Company Limited. He is among the first group of artists in Thailand to use glass as a medium for creating art. Chattakan has participated in several international glass art activities, such as a workshop at Niijima Glass Art Center on Niijima Island, Japan, where he worked with Nick Mount, a pioneering glass artist from Australia. He was also awarded a scholarship from The 32nd Niijima International Glass Art Festival to attend a workshop with Martin Janecký at the world-renowned Pilchuck Glass School in the United States. Additionally, he has had the opportunity to assist well-known glass artists such as Dante Marioni and William Gudenrath in teaching glassblowing.
Currently, Chattakan is the head of the glass artist team and the studio manager at BGC Glass Studio. He continues to create glass artworks and aims to be a driving force in promoting glass art in Thailand and the ASEAN region, while also showcasing the potential of Thai glass artists for international recognition.
