About Kittiya
About
Kittiya Pawlowski is an artist and photographer. Her work focuses on spreading awareness of communities and causes that deserve our attention while producing economic and social incentives for wildlife conservation, protection, and restoration.
Kittiya actively partners with NGOs and organizations, ensuring her work translates into tangible benefits for the communities she shines a light on. Whether it's fundraising for critical resources, advocating for change, or simply fostering empathy and understanding, Kittiya’s work go beyond aesthetics, enriching not just the lives of her subjects, but the world as a whole.
Background
Kittiya started her creative career early. At 3 years old she began to experiment with photography, a spark of creativity that ignited a lifelong passion. Unlike many artists who follow a traditional path through art schools, Kittiya chose a different route. She opted out of formal secondary art education, instead forging her own path to hone her skills. This self-directed approach allowed her to develop a unique style, one unfettered by conventional techniques and fueled by pure, unadulterated vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
I am on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kittiya_pawlowski/?hl=en
I do not have any other social media accounts. All others are fake.
-
My art isn't about straightforward documentation; it's about sparking conversation and igniting action on issues that matter. Just like a movie director, I weave narratives through my lens, using imagery inspired by the stories I encounter on my travels. The camera is just one tool in my toolbox – I also create digital composites, sometimes incorporating licensed stock elements to build these impactful visual stories. Think of me as both a photographer and an artist, wielding the power of both to raise awareness and inspire change.
-
I am not a journalist. I have never been commissioned to take photos for news networks, magazines, or media.
While I share a passion for capturing stories, I focus on creating artistic pieces rather than traditional journalism. My work aims to raise awareness about important issues, but in a more creative way.
-
I do not use ai to create artwork.
Print Information
-
Your print will be mailed to Kittiya Pawlowski first for inspection where she will hand sign it. If it is a limited edition, a certificate of authenticity will be provided. Then it will be repackaged and shipped to you.
Giclee prints will ship 5-10 business days after your purchase date.
Acrylic prints will ship 3-5 weeks after your purchase date. Acrylic prints take extra time to build, mount, and package.
-
Giclee prints will arrive rolled in a dent-resistant tube. This method is especially safe for oversized prints and provides lower shipping costs as well. Rolled works can be easily stretched and/or framed by a local framer upon arrival. Upon immediate delivery, I recommend you send any works on paper directly to your framer for cautious, professional unrolling of the artwork.
Acrylic prints will be shipped in a box.
