About the Artist
A native of Thailand, Sumon has been living in the United States since 1973. Although he has a BFA from a university in Thailand and MFA from Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, Sumon never made a living as an artist. Instead, he worked as an entrepreneur in the restaurant business. A family man, he worked hard to support both his daughters through college. Art, however, has always been his passion. Sumon returns to his easel every chance he gets and has had several one-man shows as well as group shows.
Now at retirement age, Sumon is committed to fulfill his passion to become a full time artist. And on his canvas, he explores deacades of accumulated ideas. His main inspiration comes from his love of nature. He is fascinated by the wide open spaces and the simplicity of the desert southwest, the vastness of the open sky, and the color of the sunlit mountain in the early morning. Moody and atmospheric scenes play a significant role in his paintings.
Although most of his paintings are inspired by the landscape of the southwest, Sumon likes to describe his style as combination of abstraction and impressionism. This combination developed from his interest in European Impressionism and contemporary abstract style. Sumon enjoys the simplicity and loose brush work in his compositions. Some of his work are soft and tonalistic while others are portrayed by exciting and expressive brush strokes. Most of his artwork are not exact representations of specific locations or scenes. Rather, they are a composite, a work of creativity.
