Lukso Jiang, also known as Chanissara Saejiang, is a self-taught artist known for her live sound-to-visual synesthetic abstract and surrealist painting sessions, as well as her advocacy for autism awareness.
I involuntarily see and feel the texture, shape, and movement whenever I hear sounds. I once thought everyone saw things the way I do, but it turned out they did not. I have a strong bond with veins, bones, and roots. They are the repetitive structures in my mind and remind me of nature, where everything is connected by patterns—like sounds wavering along the vibration around me.
Background
Lukso was born and raised in Hatyai. Nowadays, she is an artist based in Bangkok, Thailand. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Thammasat University. She began her artistic practice while still studying history, researching the intersections of art, politics, and psychology. After graduation, she pursued art full-time, gradually expanding from abstraction into more figurative forms by traditional methods.
People had always known me as a creative kid, but I surprisingly didn’t choose anything related to it when it came to education. Until one day, I turned back to art when I got my iPad. Since it was so portable and my new hype, I took it everywhere and digitally painted what I sensed at the moments. But nowadays I’m back to making traditional works like I did in high school because I have more space.
Her first exhibition even showed all the digital works despite the unpopularity for collecting, while she also showcased the process in a traditional way by painting on canvases. Yet, the distinct giclée prints, which are artworks in their own medium rather than reproductions of original paintings, are collected regardless of the tool she used.
Inspiration and Approach
Her early works were shaped by synesthesia, translating perceived vibrations, sensations, and visual impressions from music into abstract imagery. While it remains an influence, her practice has evolved toward broader experiments of symbolism, narrative, and poetic interpretation, inspired by sensory experience and personal reflection. These exploration will unfold through her upcoming drops.
Philosophy
Lukso values curiosity over certainty in her art practice. She has never claimed to have all the answers to what she does. Instead, she learns, questions, and investigates everything that interests her. As a result, her creative process often becomes a personal research project rather than simply the making of artworks, which represents her inner perceptions and thoughts.
