I'm a Vietnamese hobbyist/artist, currently living in Hanoi Vietnam. With a great passion for fine art from a very young age, I've been creating art non-stop for over 20 years+. My early works were strongly on the realism spectrum, especially in human portraiture which was and is still my strongest suit.
However recently I've grown a need to tell a story of my own via my works, and naturally developed an interest in impressionism. It feels liberating when I can show audiences my imagination through vivid and colorful brush strokes., or send a message in the most subtle way I could.
Art is a form of communication and I sometimes monologize.
