Biography from Daily Inter Lake: As an underprivileged child in Udon Thani, Thailand, Kanpairee dreamed of becoming an artist. With minimal schooling in fine art, he went on to create realistic and detailed oil paintings that even the Thais, who deeply value higher education diplomas, came to appreciate.

A primarily self-taught artist with his own technique and style, Kanpairee transforms the traditional one-dimensional Thai-style paintings into a three-dimensional tangible world. He showcases multiple paintings within a painting, emphasizing story and symbolism to create a lifelike utopia.

A five-time participant at the prestigious Chalerm Prakiet, Kanpairee received the Royal Princess Choice Award and a special visitation from Princess Royal Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. He was awarded Best of Show at the 2009 Jitagum Chalerm for the Royal Thai Police at Chiang Mai Exhibition Hall. In 2011, he received the Special Prize Award at the juried Golden Paintbrush Exhibition for His Royal Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej at the Bangkok Art and Culture Center. Kanpairee also received second place in 2015 at the national charity auction for elephants, sponsored by Arrow USA clothing line.

A professional artist for 25 years, Kanpairee has participated in many national, juried art exhibitions in Thailand, including the Contemporary Art Exhibition at Chiang Mai Exhibition Hall, Realistic Art Exhibition at Kasikorn Bank Exhibition Hall in Bangkok, Singh Corporation 65th Anniversary in Bangkok, and Gueymai AC Pacific at Mae Jo University Exhibition Hall, Chiang Mai.
