I painted this with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes.
I didn’t understand the horror of war until a few years ago; I went on a trip to Kanchanaburi to see the 'Bridge over the River Kwai' and 'hellfire pass’. It’s called Hellfire Pass because the sight of emaciated prisoners labouring at night by firelight was said to resemble a scene from hell.
Until then, I didn't understand the horrors of war, I do now, and it left me with a feeling I will never forget. It is the most haunting place I have ever been to; you almost feel the pain of the men and women who died there. I feel that pain now watching the news from Ukraine.

Ta Byrne was born in Thailand in 1974. Despite her passion for art, she once believed that becoming an artist was an impossible dream. However, a small sketch she drew in 2010 changed her life forever. Since then, she has achieved great success as an artist, with her paintings being displayed in homes, offices, hotels, and restaurants across more than 66 countries. This is an incredible feat for someone who had to leave school at the age of 12 to work in the rice fields of Thailand. In addition to her success as an artist, Ta Byrne is also set to release a book soon.
