Born in 1975 , at the end of the Vietnam war is where my
journey began. Only living 6 days before taking refugee to
the United States and eventually living in Richmond, Virginia.
Attending Virginia Commonwealth University, and majoring
in painting and printmaking I graduating with a BFA. This is
where academically I fully studied the evolving
history of art, its great artist, and extensively studying African
art. From this point on my paintings matured and developed
more into abstract ideas. Creating art at an early age of 7; I
learned about figuratve proportion and compostions by my
interest in comic books. During and after art school I would
play with space , the shifting of plans ,symbolic elements,
figurative, landscape, and other ideas into abstraction. Form
this point on I would main paint in oil and use primary
colors to mix and refine my pallet. What I mostly strive to
do is to constantly push the boundaries and explore
where my paintings can develop. When I predetermine
my subject matters I try to universally keep them relevant to
todays culture. Even when I paint purely abstract my goal
pushes for new ground and discovery as art evolves and
rebirths.
