Montien Boonma มณเฑียร บุญมา (25 February 1953 - 17 August 2000) is a Thai contemporary artist whose work includes conceptual installations and sculptures. Boonma explores 'hope, healing, nature' through Buddhist symbolism, such as bells and ascension. His work uses unconventional materials such as a wide range of aromatic herbs and spices (that are commonly used in Thai Traditional Medicine) such as Sandalwood, Cinnamon, Jasmine, Ginger, and Eucalyptus, along with materials traditionally not seen in installations such as wood[1]. Boonma has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Stenersemuseet, National Gallery Bangkok, Beurdeley & Cie Paris, and Art Front Tokyo. [2]
In 1999, Boonma collapsed on a street in Germany. He died of cancer in Bangkok in August 2000 at the age of 47. [3]
