60x80 cm, 2025

Oil on canvas

This 2025 oil painting beautifully depicts Loy Krathong, Thailand’s festival of lights, where people release krathongs onto rivers as a gesture of gratitude, renewal, and letting go.

The artwork contrasts deep blues and greens of the water with the warm glow of the floating offering, highlighting its spiritual significance. The krathong, adorned with banana leaves, flowers, and a candle, is rendered with rich textures and expressive brushstrokes, merging realism with impressionistic elements. The reflections in the water add a mystical quality, enhancing the sense of tranquility and ritual.

A vivid tribute to one of Thailand’s most enchanting traditions.
