About the artwork
Kanitta Dongnok represents Thai culture via the painting. The woman wearing the Isan Silk is a traditional style of Silk worn by people in Thailand, being comfortable on skin. Moreover the silver jewelry worn by her helps prevent anxiety and realign your body and soul, it is also believed that wearing silver bracelets and necklaces can help them avoid catching a cold or getting sick in Thai culture.
Inspiration for work
Nowadays, there are many different kinds of costumes or clothes that people wear. Sometimes, they are influenced by other foreign countries. People dress up, do make up, do hair following the trend that was popular at the time. They are also inspired by famous singers and actors to be attractive and beautiful. As the Thai saying goes, “a chicken is beautiful because of its feathers, and a person is beautiful because of its dress”. However, the true beauty of a person is not a good dress but a good heart, and good manners. Manners are more important than outward beauty.
