Nou Sary

Nou Sary was born in Kandal province, Cambodia, in 1971. He studied at the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh from 1994 to 2000. Later, he moved to France to continue his studies at l’Ecole des Beaux Arts de Saint-Etienne from 2001 to 2006, where he earned a Diplôme National supérieur d’Expression Plastique.

​

He is a multi-disciplinary artist who enjoys innovative expression in painting, sculpture, engraving, illustration, photography, and the creation of installation pieces.

​

Sary's inspiration derives from his love for nature and humanity's sometimes problematic relationship with the environment. He invites visitors to embark on a journey through the sensations he experiences while living and observing "Mother Nature" and the human activities in his country. Now residing in Siem Reap, his colorful artworks often feature rice fields, farmers, and monks.

His highly recognizable brush strokes capture light in different places, suggesting movement and intensifying reflections.
