Artist Statement:
Painting is a powerful
language in which I express
myself and communicate. The
message within each painting
is an illustrated element or
aspect of my life. I paint the
moments that capture me – the
beautiful and the painful –
for the exquisiteness of any
moment can make me cry, and
then I paint. Sketching and
drawing are tools of my
vocabulary with which I
discover and reveal my
thoughts and feelings, and
when I forget that I am making
art – when I am purely
communicating – I am free.
I am a Vietnamese-born artist
now living in Arlington, VA. I
have experimented with many
different mediums over fifteen
years, and I enjoy working
with watercolor, ink, oil, and
acrylic. My paintings have
changed dramatically and are
now infused with gold and
earth tones – mythology’s
colors of the spirit world.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.(Lord Jesus Christ)

Hi Van, I LOVE your work. You already know this. I like the new works too and am glad to see you are so productive. I am trying this out so you can tell me if you got it. I'm sorry I can't buy anything at the moment. And thank you in advance for helping me with all this.

nice to see your work being featured! the spiritual aspect of your imagery is quite compelling. both sensitive and often sensual.
