✨Dahlia Phirum (KH/USA)
Dahlia Phirun is a contemporary surrealist artist who trained in mixed media sculpture from Philadelphia. Her works draw inspiration from anatomy and the relationship between humans and nature. She often creates pieces that feature distorted or surreal representations of the human body, juxtaposed with images of the natural world. Her work explores the relationship between the body and nature, and how they interact. Dahlia’s art conveys ideas that challenge our perception of the physical world, focusing on the beauty and complexity of the human form and nature.

✨An Nie (KH)
Ny Vannak was born and raised in Kampong Cham province. A self-taught artist, she started drawing from an early age but never pursued art until she moved to Singapore eight years ago and started teaching art classes in school. Inspired by Singapore’s museums and gardens, she took up painting and photography in a more serious way. She is inspired by classic pop culture iconography, Abstract and Pop artists like Pollock and Warhol, contemporary Modern art and her Cambodian roots.

✨Raphaëlle Martinez (FR)
Raphaëlle Martinez is an emerging French painter born in 1997 in the suburbs of Paris to a multicultural Spanish, Moroccan, Egyptian and French family. Surrounded by people from different backgrounds, she caught the “palm tree passion” from a close friend who grew up in Phnom Penh and developed a strong passion for local plants and trees. According to Raphaëlle Martinez, palm trees represent strength and serenity. The young artist achieved her first solo exhibition in 2022 in Casablanca, Morocco, and hopes to continue spreading her work around the world.

✨Kari Josselet Podboy (USA)

✨Marie Hill (USA)
Marie has grown up, studied, and/or lived in 11 countries across five continents, making her home now in beautiful Cambodia. Marie came to Cambodia to make sense of herself, her story, and the world she shares with the rest of the globe – whether that is through art, writing, or another kind of passion project. Her paintings include images and ideas from all the places she has lived and loved. She uses acrylics, watercolours, ink, and mixed mediums for her artwork, which explores questions of home, identity, belonging, nature, and what it means to be.
