Expressionist Etching Print, "Happy III"

All that makes Rawikan happy has made its way into her artistry, inspiring this series of drypoint prints. "Every time I look at the things around me, I am reminded of the happiness and warmth that I share with everyone in my family," confides the Thai artist. Shaped like her family home, the composition depicts all that Rawikan could see from her window such as birds and tall trees, elephants and comets. Life's busy rhythm includes trains, planes, books and her desk. Rawikan masters drypoint etching techniques with ink on Fabriano paper.
