Born in Bangkok, Suchao Sisganes graduated in 1959 with a Diploma in Fine Arts from the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts, Silpakorn University. After his graduation, he became a lecturer at the Satit Chula (Chulalongkorn University Demonstration School) and later retired to be a freelance artist.
Sisganes's paintings were inspired by his daily life and surroundings. His works bring the viewer into another world, one that is populated by charming geometric figures which, in this case, had been deliberately simplified almost to abstraction. There is the sense that the artist aimed to elevate mundane daily situations with a whimsical child-like interpretation using minimalistic visual elements.
By redacting distinctive human characteristics from his figures, Sisganes created a graphic composition where complex and heavily textured impasto pigments contrast against simplified forms and lines to achieve an intriguing piece of artwork that commands the viewer's attention up close and afar.
