, “Blissful Akha Girl”

Dressed in the style of Thailand’s Akha people, a smiling girl holds a flower. Oraphat depicts the charming child in bright colors and naïf style. The Akha hill tribe lives in Thailand’s northern hills. This is a proud and timeless culture, struggling to preserve its ancestral values through their traditional skills and knowledge. Akhas believe in continuity and see themselves as a link in the chain of life, which includes birth, procreation, the preservation of the Akha way of life – which venerates family life – and death, seen as a meeting with the ancestors. 0.7 lbs 11.75″ H x 11.75″ W x 1.4″ D Metric US/Imperial Acrylic on canvas Arrives unframed Stretched Signed by the artist Each work features slight variations that make it unique Made in Thailand.
