„It is time to look into ourselves and reach a sense of peace. There is so much chaos in the world. I just want to share a sense of humanity. There is sadness around, so many things which are going against my human being.

I like to see people happy but lately I saw the opposite. There is now so much uncertainty in the world. As an artist I like to say that it is not bad to go on, just to go on. I hope when people see my art they can feel spirituality and peace and the positive way of living their lives.

I don’t want to see people living in a negative way. Light, one of the themes of my paintings, means to me happiness. This is my small way of saying that I hope there is peace and tranquillity wherever we are.“

Thép Thavonsouk, Laotian-Canadian Painter
