a bit ABOUT Artist

Talia, Kawittha Kasiwong (Thai-born Australian Artist)

Inspired by moments in everyday life, Talia creates various styles of arts from line drawing to abstract art. She is a self-thought emerging artist and freelance graphic designer. She started her career in leading digital agencies in Thailand before moving to Australia in 2017. Since then, her passion for art has been growing and it is inspirational for her to learn every bit of the people and city and turn them into a piece of art. Talia has her own unique styles of unfinished lines, unidentified forms and abstract expressionism which her work is illustrated in various mediums from digital to mixed-media paintings on canvas. In 2023, Talia started a design studio in Melbourne called Anchovy Toastie where her painting collections are displayed. She has recently joined group exhibitions at the Holy Art Gallery in London and Small Art Work and Fifty Squared Art at Brunswick Street Gallery in Melbourne.

a bit ABOUT Studio

Anchovy Toastie Studio is an independent design studio, focusing on physical painted works in mixed media, digital illustration and branding design, solo run by Talia.

Most art works are multi-disciplinary paintings in different designs & concepts from minimalist to contemporary with a huge obsession in everyday life and abstract. All ideas and creatives are from observation on various perspectives such as random people outside, outstanding colours experienced in daily life as well as fashion & decorative things around. 

The main technique of my painting is hand-drawn scribbling and sketching by using different ink brushes and the pencils with freeform on texturing and shaping a bit of grainy, shading and shadowing. 

All of selling works and prints are dedicatedly and limitedly designed with my effort and passion.

Designed with love, Talia
