Rama IX Art Museum
 


................I live surrounded by rice fields, farms and orchards. I see the simple life of these farmers and try to convey its beauty to others through the pictures I paint. The traditions and customs they observe are the subjects of my art. I have great admiration for the quiet, unchanging rhythms of rural life and see my mission as an artist to offer the people who see my works a pathway to a paradise increasingly ignored and undervalued in the modern world.
