Rama IX Art Museum

...When I create art, order and pattern are the bases on which t start my search for pure form. Overlapping patterns of line and color in a geometric arrangement create planes with a luminous surface. These patterns are constantly moving and changing, creating the illusion of depth in the interplay of planes and empty space. What is revealed is beauty in the balance between opposing things - between light and dark, movement and stillness, and the creation and disintegration of forms. Ultimately, then, my art is an expression of the distinctly Asian belief in the truth of the cycle of life and death.
