Sometimes sadness simply must be expressed. Students from the faculty of painting, sculpture and graphic arts, Silpakorn University are responding to the passing of King Bhumibol with rare and unique originality.

While many have been unremittingly mourning in black, a total of 60 students found solace in their profession and spent three whole days painting portraits of HM the King.

Under “The Great Artist” theme, they painted nine portraits of King Bhumibol to hang on the University’s fence and put one large portrait of him on the University’s exterior wall.

Their love and respect toward King Rama IX is expressed with creativity. Each picture shows the King in a different pose, each related to his wisdom and ability in one of many fields: music, photography, sport, and so on. Sadness is depicted through colors. All these portraits of King Bhumibol were drawn and painted in Sepia tones against colored backgrounds.

As the saying goes, people grief differently, indeed.
