Untraveled Roads
With global conflicts, rising costs, and an uncertain world, staying home felt like the safer choice.
But my longing to wander didn’t disappear — it simply transformed.
So instead of boarding a plane myself, I created a fantasy version of me to travel in my place.
Through AI, she drinks bubble tea in busy night markets, photographs glowing cityscapes, strolls under golden trees, explores frozen mountains, and drifts through dreamlike worlds I may never see in reality.
Surprisingly, the images turned out even more magical than what I had imagined.
They became my way of traveling without leaving home — a reminder that imagination can take us anywhere, even when the real world says otherwise.
About the artist
I am Konkanya Thepveerakul, a Thai AI artist and visual storyteller working under the name GoldenChiArt. My work blends surrealism, symbolism, and contemporary AI-generated imagery, creating dreamlike worlds shaped by memory, emotion, and light. Although my subjects range from nature and mythology to everyday life and imaginative narratives, a recurring element throughout my work is the use of luminous gold textures inspired by childhood memories of Thai temples. The delicate shimmer of gold leaf has gradually evolved into a digital visual language that connects my cultural roots with contemporary AI art. In 2026, my artwork was selected as one of the 12 shortlisted pieces for Canvas of the Future at the AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, where it was exhibited along Quai Wilson. I was also featured as an Artist Spotlight. These experiences reinforced my belief that deeply personal cultural memories can resonate with audiences far beyond their place of origin. Rather than recreating tradition, I seek to transform it into new visual experiences—where heritage, imagination, and artificial intelligence coexist.
