ARTIST STATEMENT
The anguishing desire of artists is to recreate the world they perceived, carrying along the dreams, the memories, the anger, and the passion.
Usually my dream worlds, nurtured by all the nuances of colors, help me escape from reality. Memories paved the paths to familiar landscapes where each object would bring back moments as samples of lost images.
Sometimes the complexity of sequences made the fine boundaries between reality and fantasy collapse; the chaos sent me into the labyrinth of a lost world. I became an object of exile.
My paintings illustrate various human states of beings interacting within themselves. People go through life carrying intangible quest. The act of resolving those issues is somewhat the same as the process of making arts. While resolving perplexing matters, arts, through artists, create themselves.
Hi ! I'm Minh, an artist and graphic designer — taken after both my parents, Nguyễn Trí Minh and Trương Thị Thịnh, who are considered as two of the pillars of modern Vietnamese art.
I love to draw, paint, design, and read illustrated books.
