Page 1: In the Spotlight: Pheakdey S. Bun, Graphic ArtistBy Phatry Pan
Wednesday, April 7th, 2004
In the Spotlight is a joint publication between Rajana Society and KhmerConnection.
Pheakdey S. BunGraphic Artist
Pheakdey S. Bun is more than just the Rajana Society Logo Contest winner. She is a proud Khmer Canadian who wants to use her skills in graphic arts to better humanity. What a noble ambition from someone who also paints abstract art, enjoys fine literature on greats like Van Gogh and Monet and finds pleasure studying Angkorian art. She thinks TV programs these days are junk because of the saturation of reality shows. We, on the other hand, think she is nothing less than talent thus why we have chosen her to be … On the Spotlight.
RAJANA: Please introduce yourself.
PHEAKDEY: Ok, I am Khmer. I am a 20-years-old graphic design student at
Ahuntsic College in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
RAJANA: Oh, Montreal? You must speak French then, right?
PHEAKDEY: Oui, bien sûr. Comment allez-vous?
RAJANA: How many siblings do you have? When did your parents immigrate to Canada?
PHEAKDEY: I live with my parents, two sisters and a brother. Our family came to Canada in 1986 when I was about two years old.
RAJANA: So you tell us that you paint. What kind of subjects do you enjoy most?
PHEAKDEY: Yes, especially abstract images. My favorite color is green so I enjoy painting images of landscape and nature.
RAJANA: Oh, your favorite color is green. Why is that?
PHEAKDEY: I am attracted to all colors, but the color green means peace to me. And peace gives me hope.
RAJANA: Who are your favorite painters and why?
PHEAKDEY: I don't really have a favorite one. There are too many and every painter or artist has inspired me. Like Vincent Van Gogh for his marvelous color in his painting, Claude Monet for his blurry vision which reminds me as something almost like abstract visual or Albert Marquet for his soft color in his watercolor. Note that its mainly French painters.
