Ngeun Sysengthong

Hello and welcome to my Saatchi Art profile page. My name is Ngeun Sysengthong and I am a Lao Australian artist. I work on both Gadigal Country and Yuin Country, on the east coast of Australia.

My art practice is focused on abstract oil painting. I also enjoy creating sculpture and mixed media works. My artworks are hand created, fuelled with love, care and emotion.

I enjoy experimenting and exploring the possibilities of oil paint and other mediums through expressive, abstract and semi abstract works including landscapes, portraits and still lifes. I am interested in and inspired by God, spirit, nature, people and the human condition.

I am mostly self taught as an artist and painter. I studied 3 unit visuals arts in high school in 1994. 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 ARTEXPRESS catalogue.

I was also enrolled in and studied for a Bachelor of Fine Arts (for one semester) and then transferred to 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 study and experience at COFA...
