Love, Death & Dreams

Sokuntevy's refined and highly individualistic painting style, mostly in acrylic on paper, combines a modern approach with folk elements found in Cambodian art. Her clearly defined shapes and strong colours show her awareness and appreciation of her homeland’s art history. It is also her country’s traditions and superstitions, projected from her subconscious. The animals reference her culture’s deeply rooted relationship with nature, belief in reincarnation and indubitably the zodiac sign.
