Founder of Neo Psychological Surrealism

Artist Bio

Hathairat Maneerat is a New York-based artist and the originator of Neo Psychological Surrealism — a visual movement where emotion becomes architecture and elegance bleeds.

Her large-scale mixed media works are built with psychological tension and raw beauty, often incorporating oil, acrylic, sand, modeling paste, crushed glass, and gold leaf. These are not just paintings — they are confrontations, blueprints of emotional survival, and poetic eruptions of feminine fire.

Her art does not ask for healing. It refuses silence. Every surface remembers. Every layer wounds and reclaims.

Hathairat’s foundation began outside the traditional art world — first through fashion, where she learned to shape identity through fabric, silhouette, and rebellion. Today, that instinct lives on in her surfaces: not soft, but sculpted. Not dressed, but exposed.

Her art refuses silence. It carries no desire for healing. It exists to unravel, to reclaim, and to restructure the feminine psyche through emotional debris.

Artist Statement

Neo Psychological Surrealism is where trauma becomes architecture, and elegance wears blood.

I don’t paint to soothe the past. I paint to sculpt what it left behind.

I design with emotional residue — rage becomes structure, softness becomes sharp. Each painting is a reckoning — not with others, but with myself.

Some artists dream. I remember. And I make memory impossible to ignore.
