''''Rose'''' (2005)
Radiant reds, blues and greens emanate from this floral portrait. Prachuap Chaikham-udom paints a cluster of kuhlab, or "roses" in Thai. Although the palette is a magical one, the buds and blossoms are captured with his characteristic realism. "Depending on where one stands and on one''''s point of view, the beauty of a rose may differ for each person," the artist says. "I use the same rose to image the beauty of women, which may differ depending on one''''s point of view."
