April 18, 2025
Phnom Penh, Friday, April 18, 2025, ACLEDA Bank Plc. ("ACLEDA Bank") — the first commercial bank listed its securities in Cambodia — officially announced today that ACLEDA Bank supports Cambodian Arts under the art title "Nikakhit" drawn by artist Koem Keo Socheat.
She is from Kampot Province and pursued her studied at the Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA) from 2014 to 2018 in the field of Fine Arts. After graduation, she has always spent her time focusing on research, reading, thinking, and analyzing, which led to the creation of arts because she realized that learning can be done everywhere, which means she can learn anywhere, not just in the classroom.
She showcased her first solo exhibition in 2019 (Eyes of Mercy), the second solo exhibition in late 2020 (Why do I...?), the third solo exhibition in 2022 (White).
On September 29, 2023, she showcased her sculpture (Acharphay) in a private gallery on Street 240. In addition, she also participated in exhibiting her artworks with other artists.
Her artworks primarily focus on knowing one's roots, identity, present, past, and future, which includes encouraging the youth to learn and be interested in what their ancestors left behind and try to create something in the present (preserving and creating new values) for the benefit of the future generations.
Every day, she is further creating another artwork related to sculpture (Acharphay).
This proves that ACLEDA Bank has contributed to encouraging innovation, promoting, preserving, and developing Khmer arts and culture more broadly.
