Born in Thailand, Pinaree Sanpitak pursued her formal education in fine arts at the University of Tsukuba in Japan and Northern Territory University in Australia. Her early practice established a foundation in conceptual art, leading to her recognition as a significant voice in Southeast Asian contemporary art, underscored by her receipt of the Silpathorn Award for Visual Arts in 2007.

Sanpitak’s work is characterized by the recurring use of the breast shape, which she transforms into diverse forms—ranging from vessels and clouds to architectural structures—to examine themes of womanhood, the body, and the nurturing experience. Her medium-spanning practice includes sculpture, installation, and painting, often inviting viewer interaction to explore the intersection of the physical body and spiritual space.

Her work continues to gain international visibility through major art platforms and institutional showcases. Most recently, she has been featured in the programming for the Encounters sector at Art Basel Hong Kong, where her large-scale installations have been highlighted for their engagement with cultural heritage and social practice.
