Artworks we presents are recorded memories , moments we cherished , feeling of childhood we hold to, like the smell of bokhour or the sound of palm leaves or maybe the scary moments such as the dark nights. Those moments have came back to us by the brush of the artists filled with his feelings through colour and shapes.

Koonoz was born in the result of my childhood as I was raised in a family that care about art and reading. My parent were the pioneer to think of protecting the important pieces from getting lost.

Koonoz started and will continue to bring pioneer top artist from the local market, hoping to be able to introduce them to the world , through building bridges with the Galleries, auction houses and art lovers .

Thank you for coming hoping to enjoy the night.
