Sopist Lertwongprasert was born and educated in Chiang Mai, and is a graduate of the Faculty of Fine Art, Chiang Mai University.
Sopist’s favoured medium is oil on canvas, through which she feels she can best express and represent her emotions and imagination. Her paintings depict specific and meaningful moments in time, often being unable to separate the reality and images of the moment from the colour of her feelings.
She has participated in a number of group art shows in Thailand and in the United States. One of her most recent solo exhibitions was presented in Nantucket, Massachusetts, USA in 2007
After graduating, she traveled to the United States and all the new sights and adventures left a lasting impression on her. After her return back to Thailand she undertook the three paintings exhibited in La Luna Gallery, which represent her feelings and her perspectives of a big city, such as New York. With the impressions and feeling still strong in her mind, she entitled this series of paintings - "Confrontation of mind".
