Artist Statement

Mindfulness occurs when the soul meets nature. In my artwork, I try to give the mind an absolute quietness for contemplation. I use bright colors and light strokes to convey vitality behind the calmness of a lake or the elegant curve of a leaf. My childhood memories and dreams of unworldly places are intertwined in my landscape paintings, which thereafter become my ever-lasting sources of energy. I want to remind those who see my work to appreciate the minutiae of nature through its originality.

What I'm learning..

Painting remains my top artistic pursuit, and I'm exploring as many mediums as I can. As of now, I'm attempting to self-teach oil painting from scratch. My artist uncle recommends a book, "Ky Thuat Ve Son Dau" (Oil Painting Techniques) by Nguyen Dinh Dang, which I'm having lots of fun reading to hopefully add new projects to my collection by 2021. Stay tuned!
