| Anglo-Italian artist Joathon Simone lives in Bangkok where he finds no shortage of subjects for his exotic, ravishing paintings. "Art to me, is the creation of fantasy and illusion, a world to where one escapes form the never ending mediocrity of everyday existence", he writes. A self-taught painter who has travelled and lived all over the world, he decided to settle in Asia. "There, life seemed both ageless and timeless." |
