Kim Ngan

I am a Vietnamese artist based in Ho Chi Minh City.

I paint the things I don't want to forget — quiet places, familiar moments, and small memories from the places I have been. Painting is my way of gently keeping those feelings and moments close.

I mainly work with lacquer and gouache, moving between studio painting and painting directly from life.

Through my work, I hope to preserve a feeling, a place, or a moment that might otherwise quietly fade away.
