ISAN WAY

Sakon Malee's work is inspired by the distinctive Buddhist frescoes of the Isan region of northeastern Thailand, where art and spirituality meet in compositions that blend scenes of everyday life, picturesque landscapes and religious figures.

Through a restricted colour palette dominated by shades of indigo, white and black, Sakon Malee manages to capture the very essence of his cultural heritage, enhancing his works with gold leaf, thus adding a sacred dimension to his creations, while respecting the aesthetics of traditional Isan frescoes.
