“I am particularly interested in the meaning of the word ‘innocence’, because there are so many aspects for you to look at. There are different levels of interpretation and comprehension that vary according to our experiences and the way we see the world. ‘Innocence’ can be just a state that no longer exists in the present world.”
— Natee Utarit
“Flowers and paintings of flowers aren’t the same thing – even though there is a connection. In a still life the flowers are free. They are what they are. They are brought forth to be a painting. They are not meant to be an image representing flowers.”
— Excerpt from Forget Me Not With Artist Palette (2016), artist note by Natee Utarit
