Ngeun Sysengthong

Hello and welcome to my Saatchi Art profile. My name is Ngeun Sysengthong and I am a Lao Australian artist and oil painter. My art practice is focused on oil painting, though I do also enjoy creating sculpture and mixed media works. My artworks are very much hand created works, fuelled with care and emotion.

I enjoy experimenting and exploring oil painting as a medium, through expressive, abstract and semi real/figurative works including portraiture, landscapes and still lifes. I am interested in and inspired by life, people, nature, God and Spirit as subject matters and areas of research. I work on both Gadigal Country and Yuin Country.

I am mostly self taught as an artist and painter. Though I did study 3 unit visuals arts in high school a long time ago. My sculpture titled Birth Death Rebirth was selected for the 1994 ARTEXPRESS exhibition. It was awarded the Gould League Environment Award and featured on the front cover of the catalogue.

I was also enrolled in and studied for a Bachelor of Fine Arts (for one semester) and then a Master of Arts (Research) (also for one semester) at UNSW College of Fine Arts (COFA) in 2002, which I deferred without completion.

I am grateful and enjoyed my studies and experiences at COFA at th...
