Nat Di Maggio, curator at TRIBE Art Gallery, highlighted Ponleu’s artistry, drawing parallels to the works of legendary artists. “Ponleu’s profound connection to the lotus and its symbolic importance is masterfully portrayed through his art, echoing the timeless elegance reminiscent of Claude Monet’s water lily period. We are thrilled to collaborate with Courtyard by Marriott Phnom Penh in presenting Ponleu’s evocative works to a broader audience, fostering an immersive and enriching art experience for all.”
Ponleu Prom’s exhibition transcended mere visual delight, inviting viewers on a contemplative journey into the essence of the lotus and the artist’s personal evolution.
