Lim Khim Katy

Lim Khim Katy is a Cambodian / Vietnamese artist who draws inspiration for her paintings from life all around her; from peoples’ eyes, gestures, stares, and the individual emotions that they express. “When I really look into a person’s eyes, I feel like I can see into their soul and understand a bit about their life, joys, and hardships.”

“My paintings of nostalgic village homes and vibrant landscapes are painted with the objective of expressing both strong emotion and great tranquility. I see them as a compliment to my portraits that portray daily life experiences – some peaceful and contemplative, others playful and filled with joy and some melancholic. Being happy and comfortable is only a part of the human experience.”

“I am heartened that collectors from around the world understand my sentiments – through my pieces, oceans, rivers, mountains, and valleys are crossed to see that boundaries can be broken, and feelings can be shared in order to have a better understanding of each other.”
