FAHFAHS (ฺBorn in 1992), also known as Napath Kuntaruck, embodies the essence of an artist – a Thai visionary skilled in illustration and masterful in crafting characters. For over a decade, FAHFAHS has transversed the realm of artistry, weaving her creative tapestry. Her passion for sketching ignited during childhood. Throughout her school days, she often engaged in impromptu drawing contests and clandestinely etched sketches into her notebook, harboring a dream that one day her work would bring joy to the hearts of others. During her studies at the Faculty of Architecture, Silpakorn University, FAHFAHS embarked on an artistic journey intertwined with her academic pursuits. While immersed in learning, she concurrently delved into various art forms, including watercolor painting, digital illustration, and the inventive creation of works derived from her drawings. Whether manifested in notebooks or stickers, FAHFAHS’s creations consistently narrate tales brimming with joy and positivity, delivered through the guise of a young girl character with flowing hair and wide, captivating eyes – an embodiment of FAHFAHS herself. The pivotal shift in FAHFAHS’s artistic journey commenced in 2022 when she joined the group exhibition titled “When Snowflakes Fall” at River City Bangkok. Here, she spun tales of the Snowy Fairy, celestial beings emerging in the winter, of which featured a character named ‘Midnight’ – a black-clad fairy embracing sorrow and consuming darkness, starkly different from the cheerful others. Midnight became the embodiment of loneliness, imperfection, and solitude, resonating deeply within the viewer’s souls, captivating them as the most beloved character. From this genesis, FAHFAHS found inspiration in exploring human emotions and delving into the uncharted territories of her own psyche – emotions like loneliness, solitude, and profound despair along the artist’s path, Nonetheless, FAHFAHS believed that transcending this darkness required an immense inner strength, gradually forged from within. This struggle culminated in her solo exhibition titled “Basement in Your Soul”, marking her inaugural solo showcase, born from the depths of her being.This exhibition received a warm welcome from the media and collectors, and all artworks were sold out. In the same year, FAHFAHS brought her Art Toy to participate in the Pop Toy Show 2024 in Singapore and received a warm welcome from collectors in Singapore and other countries in Asia.
