Drawing and painting have been one constant on his highly changeful life. As a boy, he used charcoal to draw simple images on anything he could find. The young Keomingmuang also spent part of his childhood playing near a temple where monks performed rituals, and it was here that he found himself attracted to the paper or cloth images of Buddha that surrounded him. For a time, he supported himself by selling Buddhist drawings in the temple. Even throughout his days in the jungle as a soldier of the liberation army, he continued to cultivate his artistic abilities. It was only much later that KEOMINGMUANG purposed a conventional artistic education by attending and graduating from the institute of Fine Arts in Hanoi Vietnam.
