From San Francisco to Paris passing through Tokyo, Jeannine Platz has painted some of the most beautiful panoramic landscapes in the world from hotel suites. Her artistic journey lasting several months led her to the So Sofitel in Bangkok in August 2016.
A An internationally renowned painter and calligrapher, Jeannine Platz, born in Hanover in 1973, works using her fingers and a scraper as her only tools. For her “Suite View Project”, she has traveled throughout the world with a list of 50 exceptional hotels, from which she is painting frescoes that highlight the most beautiful skylines.
When passing through Bangkok in August 2016, Jeannine realized two paintings: one from her room and the second from the balcony on the 29th floor of the So Sofitel during a public performance. Before arriving in Bangkok, Jeannine Platz had already stopped at 30 hotels all over the world. At this stage of her journey, she admitted that “if one day I had to leave Germany and settle in another city, I could easily imagine myself coming to live in Bangkok”. Since then, she has continued her wanderings before returning to Hamburg, her starting point, where she will present the final result in May 2017 in an exhibition that will bring together the 50 paintings of her “Suite View” project.
