Chanya Vitayakul (they/them, b. 2003) is a multidisciplinary artist from Bangkok, Thailand currently pursuing a Graphic Design BFA↗ at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)↗.

Growing up in a collectivist culture, what drives their work is the blending of themes such as personal lived experiences with exploring materiality to underscore the body’s relationship with the world and the sense of individuality. Chanya Vitayakul delves into exploring concepts surrounding identity and what makes up identity; whether that be through sexual, queer, familial, or personal experiences, their body of work encapsulates what it means to have a body in different spaces.
