Oil on Canvas. While I was looking through my family´s photo album, I found the photo of this image taken by my father while we was working in Dubai in the 80s. The photo was lightly faded due to age and I thought the image was interesting as it depicted the life of the local fishermen of that period. What I also like about this image very much is that dispite the fact that photo was candidly taken, but the positioning of the fishermen and the background looked as if the scene was extra made for a movie set. Since this photo was taken, Dubai has grown to be a very modern city in the last decades and the scene like this could hardly be seen there nowadays as the city has become a very glamourous place. I have always been fascinated in the images of the lifestyle of the Orient, so I decided to try to do a painting out of this photo. I have chosen to make the size of this painting to fit exacely to the Guilded Antiques frame which I have found at an antique market years ago. The frame is made in Empire style, made around the 3rd quater of the 19th Century. Its made of wood and topped with plaster and guilded with gold in ornated finished. The frame has a very beautiful patina. This painting could be bought with or without the frame. The price of this painting is not included the frame. The frame will cost 5000 dollars extra. Should the buyer choose to buy this painting with the frame, please understand that I will need an extra week before I could send the painting with the frame as the frame has some light damages and I will have to restore the damages first. I will try to restore the frame in the meanwhile. If it is finished before, this extra week time will be eliminated and I will take this clause out by then. The frame alone weight around 25 kilos. The size of the surface of the frame is 24 cm. ( measuring at the largest part of each corners ). The middle parts of the frame are otherweise 20 cm. each. The whole measurement of the frame is H : 139 cm, W : 214 cm.

Prasong Kantanee Born in Chiang Mai, Thailand Education: B.A. in Business Administration at Strayer University, Washington DC, USA Although my academic study had nothing to do with Arts, my main interest in life has always been about Arts. Illustrating my imagination on paper and canvas as drawings or paintings has been my obsession. Ever since I was young I found myself drawing human bodies and a few times I got even caught in class during lecture by my teachers. Of course, they made fun of me since I drew mostly naked bodies, but that did not stop my passion for Arts at all. Later I finally got the chance of taking a summer class of Intensive Figure Drawing with live nude models at the National Cathedral of Washington DC. It was not really a class about teaching how to draw, but more of letting us draw and then share the result with our class mates. Doing this we could learn how the same object can be interpreted on paper in many ways by different artists and different styles of drawings, some more abstract, some more realistic. It was the first time in my life that I had the chance to draw live models. It was rather interesting for me to discover that live models give a much better perspective for the drawing of the human body than drawing from imagination only. It is fair to say that this was a turning point for me and my interest in Arts and I became rather obsessive with it. My Career as an Antique Dealer has given me a very good opportunity to get more knowledge of fine Arts as I attend often auctions and I also receive frequently auctions catalogues which often contain elaborated description of Old Master paintings as well as story and history behind them. A lot of times I am surprised to see what kind of motives, painters and history exist that I have never heard about and they are really amazing wonderful masterpieces and not less quality than those world most famous paintings and artists . From this, my knowledge of Arts and history grows even more. Since 2007 I have begun using camera images instead of my own mirror image working with self timer features to make varieties of photographs of me for my paintings. This method allows me to use different angles and a variety of lighting effects as well. I added set decorations that work for my motives and themes, sometimes in the form of collages which I can store as a complete set of requisites of my paintings.
