Feast your eyes on these sumptuous and gorgeous oil paintings from Lao painter, Ms. Marisa Darasavath. She finds her inspiration from her environment and the locals with a focus on ethnic minorities and women in society. She brings a wonderful mix of tones, depth and dimension to her work along with an understated whimsy. A graduate of the National Institute of Fine Art in Vientiane she continues to showcase her work around Asia and in particular at the M Gallery in Vientiane.
