I am currently living and working in Hanoi. I started to find ways to express my favorite themes by wood-block paintings. The themes in my works are generated from common things and phenomena around me, or stories about daily lives. The nuance of the bicycles or the doors and the stories behind these things are great sources of inspiration to me to express my thoughts through the brushwork. I hope that the viewers can take the humorous and a bit critical view of things which need to be changed for a better life. I am trying to show a variety of interesting and non-repetitive, unique, diverse art language, so I have tried a lot of different materials and genres to effectively convey my ideas and philosophy including lacquer, wood carving, wood sculpture, ceramic sculpture, etc.
