About my work:

At the start 2018, the editors of ArtFinder tipped me for the top as one to watch and invest in, picked from thousands of outstanding artists and now I’m ending the year as one of their best selling artists.

My work is displayed in over 32 countries, including some iconic places like Berkeley Square in London’s Mayfair, 5th Ave New York, Malibu beach and Hollywood in California.

The expression “to have egg on one’s face” means to look foolish or feel embarrassed. But what if that egg on your face was actually quite becoming? What if it belonged there? It’s
not likely…unless you’re speaking about the work of artist Ta Thimkaeo.

A fried egg can only have so many expressions, Ta likens it to the mask humans wear to obscure their feelings and emotions. Blanc Magazine.

How my Eggs came about: one day I was frying an egg and thought that would make a great face…It bought back memories of when I was a kid….

When I was a kid at school, we would have to take our lunch box as there were no kitchen or cooking facilities when the dinner bell rang we would all sit on the floor to eat our lunch.

Almost every day I had a fried egg on rice, the other kids would say, ‘Ta fried egg again, you will begin to start looking like a fried egg’.

I used to plead with my sister to have something different, but we had many chickens and many eggs, so it was always fried egg on rice.
