Exploring the Vibrant World of Cambodian Art with Daisyodia: A Must-Visit for Expats and Tourists
Cambodia is not just about its stunning temples and rich history; it’s also a burgeoning hub for contemporary art. One artist leading the charge is Daisyodia, whose unique blend of luxury and modern styles has captivated both locals and visitors. Cambodia Lifestyle spoke to Daisy about her mesmerizing mix of techniques and mediums, creating pieces that are not just visually stunning but also infused with positive energy and a touch of Feng Shui magic.
Two Distinct Flavors: Luxury and Modern
Daisyodia’s portfolio boasts two distinct flavors of art: Luxury Style and Modern Style. The Luxury Style is characterized by its opulent, shiny aesthetics that exude richness and elegance. In contrast, the Modern Style is fresh and current, reflecting contemporary themes and trends. Her innovative approach to creating these pieces includes pouring, swiping, and mixing paint in various ways, ensuring that each artwork is unique and stands out.
“I got two flavors of art—Luxury Style and Modern Style,” Daisyodia explains. “Each has its own feel, one is more about rich and shiny looks, and the other is more now, what’s happening today.”
What makes Daisyodia’s work truly special is its one-of-a-kind nature. “Every piece is original, made by hand, and full of good vibes,” she says. The positive energy she channels into her art translates into the spaces where her pieces are displayed, adding a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere. Additionally, her expertise in Feng Shui allows her to create art that not only looks beautiful but also brings balance and harmony into homes and offices.
Daisyodia can create custom pieces tailored to specific colors, styles, or themes, ensuring that each artwork perfectly complements the environment it inhabits. “I can make art just for you with certain colors, styles, or something that’s gonna sparkle up your room,” she adds.

Impact on the Community and Art Scene
Beyond personal collections, Daisyodia’s work has a profound impact on the community and the broader Cambodian art scene. Her exhibitions provide a window into the world of abstract art, encouraging locals and visitors to appreciate and engage with this vibrant art form.
“My art’s not just for me. It’s about bringing new colors and shapes to people’s lives—especially those who are interested in abstract paintings,” Daisyodia shares. “When they come to one of my exhibitions, they can really get into what abstract art is all about. It’s a new vision for them to see things differently, and it adds more sparkles to our art culture here.”
Moreover, Daisyodia is committed to spreading the love of art through organizing art classes and workshops. These sessions are designed for everyone, from budding artists to those simply looking to explore their creative side. By fostering creativity, she helps enrich the local culture and spark new artistic expressions throughout Cambodia.
She dreams of taking these workshops to rural areas, giving children in the countryside access to art education. “Those kids have stories and dreams too. I want to give them brushes and colors and see what they make of it. It could be this huge thing for them, and maybe we’ll find some amazing new artists along the way,” she says.
The Heart of Cambodia: A Personal Connection
For Daisyodia, Cambodia is more than just a backdrop for her work; it’s her heart and home. “Since I was a kid, this place has been my whole world,” she reflects. She speaks passionately about the country’s natural beauty, its rich culture, and most importantly, its people. “The best thing, the very best, is the people. They’re so open, so friendly, you feel like you belong, always.”
