Marsi Foundation

M.R.-Jisnuson-Svasti M.R. Jisnuson Svasti, Chairman, Marsi Foundation

Marsi Foundation was established on 26th March 2009 by Marsi’s cousins and close friends, to fulfil the wishes of Marsi to support art education in Thailand and to help animals in need, since animals have been the inspiration in many of her paintings.

 

The Foundation has organized three painting exhibitions in Thailand. In 2010, “MARSI” exhibition was organized at the Hall of Mirrors, Siam Paragon. “L’art de Marsi” exhibition was held in Bangkok in 2013 at the Queen’s Gallery to celebrate the auspicious occasion of the 80th Birthday Anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit. Highlights of the latter exhibition are H.M. Queen’s private collection of Marsi’s paintings, which were granted permission to be displayed. The latest exhibition, “Beauty and Ugliness: Aesthetic of Marsi” was held in 2018 at the National Gallery in Bangkok to display the beauty, ugliness, and truth in her paintings through her works and personal items.

 

Past activities of the Foundation include publishing catalogues of Marsi’s paintings, granting Marsi scholarships for university Art students since 2011, and support Art exhibitions by students and young artists in various art galleries. In future, the Foundation plans to establish a permanent gallery in Thailand to display the collection of paintings of Marsi, to further encourage art appreciation and education.
