1dontknows (Thai, b. 1996) creates surrealist digital collages that fuse classical painting with dreamlike, fragmented imagery. Working from Bangkok, Thailand, he builds each piece in Photoshop around a central figure, layering in hidden details and often covering or blacking out the figure's face. He has said the covered faces echo images of a faceless nun and reflect his own shyness.
He names Salvador Dalí, Hieronymus Bosch, and René Magritte as favorite influences. He started out in graphic design and moved into his first job before being made redundant during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021. Seeing another artist's digital collage work first opened his eyes to the medium. Discovering Surrealism later brought his style into focus. He has chosen to focus his full attention on his art.
