Space and Time of Serenity

Abstract

‘Space and Time of Serenity’ is a work of art with aesthetic harmony created through the visual art process in the realm of inner peace. This involved taking the physical features of the natural landscape in the southern part of Thailand with its beauty and significance as a source of inspiration and interpreting them rationally as well as emotionally. The language of visual art was used to create an atmosphere that gives a sense of tranquility through abstract expression of place and time. This was realized by using lithographic technique which allowed the details of all the visual elements and their special qualities to blend well together and produce the desired atmosphere of the landscape that corresponds with the peaceful state of mind at a particular moment through the effects of applying different degrees of light and shade. The work, which is intended to create an atmosphere of the natural landscape that refines the mind into appreciating peacefulness inherent in the simple way of life, is therefore also an illustration of the science of artistry. The intricate harmony of the tranquil atmosphere in the space and time of place can be persuasive towards living a simple lifestyle, and is the path of finding a balance in the purpose of life.
