May 8, 2569 – In addition to the atmosphere filled with financial planning at the event... Bangkok Finance Expo No. 26 (Money Expo 2026 Bangkok) Amidst the bustling activity at Challenger Hall 1-2, IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, one corner has been transformed into a space of spirit and creativity: the booth. "Happy Life" By the Financial and Banking Journal and Bangkok Bank.

It all started with "fear".
Towards a unique "line art".

in part Living Gallery Professor Nithi began the conversation with a touch of humor, saying that as an architect, numbers and finance had always seemed distant and daunting. But upon stepping into this space, he discovered that art and living happily were the essence everyone seeks, much like planning a good life.

The professor reminisced about an era before computers were involved in design: "Back then, Chulalongkorn University's architecture faculty didn't even have photocopiers. Everything had to start with hands and heart." Sketching was therefore not just a skill, but a way to record memories and feelings of the moment. The professor described going to various locations to sketch, from the Khlong Toei slums to buildings abroad, to learn about the unadulterated "way of nature." In addition to the professor's work, a group of artist friends contributed their perspectives through portraits, nature, and the colors of life, reflecting the boundless dimensions of art.

In additionProfessor Nithi brought invaluable sketches, like a travel diary, for everyone to admire. These included:

  • บ้าน Frank Lloyd Wright's FallingwaterThe painting took the artist over 20 days to create, meticulously capturing the beauty of architecture seamlessly integrated with nature.
  • The Glass House by Philip JohnsonA model of modern American architecture that emphasizes lightness, airiness, and simplicity (Minimalism).
  • Legendary designFrom the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building with its distinct Thai charm to the PTT building and the One Bangkok project, which took over 10 years to develop.

"Sketching feels different from photography because it's about filtering out what impresses you and expressing it in lines."

Professor Nithi continued by saying that during the COVID-19 crisis, when travel was restricted, he found happiness close at hand by painting trees and potted plants around his house. He explained that artists can “embellish” hidden beauty, such as emphasizing the pink hues of young philodendron leaves or rearranging compositions to create something more romantic than reality. Furthermore, he uses lines as a tool to help conserve nature through his paintings. "Golden Weaver" "Pheasant" Endangered species are being used to create greeting cards, with proceeds supporting the Bird Conservation Society and raising awareness about the importance of the environment.

Professor Nithi left a moving final message for those who want to start drawing: "Don't be afraid of not drawing beautifully. Each person's style is their unique character, something no one can imitate." Happiness doesn't come from the perfection of the picture, but from focusing on the present moment, just as he did when he drew, losing track of time and finding joy in every line he drew on the paper.

This exhibition, therefore, is not just a showcase of works by world-class artists, but a reinforcement that... "Happy Life" Or perhaps a happy life begins with seeing the beauty in the things around us and expressing that beauty with love, whether through financial figures or through the aesthetics of writing, music, and words.
