Sharing through art

Travel has always been at the core of everything I do at Cittra Collective. I’ve been travelling since the age of 18, and from the very beginning it gave me something that nothing else really could. It opened my mind. It pushed me into places, moments, and experiences that felt completely different from what I knew, and that’s where so much of my inspiration began.

For me, travel has never just been about seeing nice places or ticking countries off a list. It’s about learning. It’s about meeting new people, hearing different stories, trying unfamiliar things, and realising how much more there is outside of your own little world. The more I travelled, the more I understood how much beauty there is in the things that make a place feel unique.

What inspires me most is the different. Different cultures, different histories, different traditions, and different ways of living. Every part of the world has its own customs, its own energy, and its own little details that make it special. Sometimes it’s something big and obvious, and other times it’s the smaller things that stay with me long after I’ve left.

Those are the things I keep coming back to. The things that make a place feel like a place. The meaning behind symbols, the stories passed down through generations, the patterns, colours, beliefs, and ways of life that give somewhere its identity. That’s what my prints are built from. Not just something that looks good, but something that comes from somewhere real.

My prints and posters are my way of sharing the things I’ve seen, learnt, and connected with along the way. I create contemporary, modern pieces that are made to look visually striking in your home, but I always want them to carry a little bit more than that as well. I want them to have meaning, even if that meaning is something small.

Maybe you just love elephants and want one of my elephant prints on your wall, and that’s reason enough. But maybe you also didn’t know that the elephant is the national animal of Thailand and is often seen as a symbol of strength. That extra layer, that little bit of story, is something I love. Whatever draws you to a piece of art, I want there to be something behind it worth sharing.
