LA FE

Sattha Homsawat (LaFe) born November 12, 1969 and known to the global watercolour world as La Fe, is a towering figure on the international watercolour scene, a famous globetrotting artist from Thailand. 

Educated at the Graduated Faculty of Painting and Sculpture, at Silpakorn University in Thailand, itself a country large on the world art scene, he is one of the three executive directors on the Board of the International Watercolor Society - IWS Globe, itself possibly the largest and fastest growing art society in the world. 

Recently he has become well known for his "Watercolor Without Drawing" series of international workshops and paintings featured on state Television and at international workshops. He follows a tradition of handing the medium of watercolour with a purist approach, often rendering subject matter in "plein air". He often demonstrates to large audiences. He is in demand around the world with invitations from large numbers of admirers in Russia, Europe, South East Asia, China and other regions.

It is his ability to get his perception onto paper with immediacy and directness which underpins hisabilities. It is hard to believe that he is capable of this connection with both nature and his subject matterwith no preliminary studies and no drawing. A tradition of respect for masters of the arts and of teachers in Thailand has resulted in a generation of  Thai artists who are taking the global stage. Among these is La Fe.

He has featured on mainstream Television. He has made many appearances in the International art press. He has exhibited in over 80 international exhibitions in the last four years. He has been a prime mover in organizing international watercolour exhibitions in Thailand. He is widely respected by the global art community. He has been able to solicit Thai national involvement in watercolour at a high level.

This relatively young master has established an international reputation which looks set to grow.
