Handmade Paintings

About the Artisan

Beautiful handmade paintings featuring unique scenes of local landscapes are a great souvenir for remembering the sights of Cambodia. In local Cambodian markets, paintings of Angkor Wat are commonly available, often done in oil paint or watercolors. High-quality original paintings can be found in local galleries. Traditional style paintings often show scenes of rural daily life. Artists express the deep spirituality of the country with depictions of Buddha or scenes from Reamker, an epic poem and the national epic of Cambodia. In places like the Old Market in Siem Reap or Central Market in Phnom Penh, you can buy original paintings from local artists for 10-150 USD.
