About Artist

In artistic practice, I am heading towards a completely natural way of composing, without content or technical interference and constraints. For me, a problem always has many way to approach and express it. So I always find ways to shift and change the way of expression with new materials.

"
Painted with acrylic material, this canvas artwork shows the energies released when we express our own voices.

We are social animals, living in a world that operates according to certain rules. In the past, people weren't allowed or didn't dare to express themselves so much. But it's different now, and individual voices can be heard because people have realized how important it is to express themselves to demonstrate their existence on Earth, to let them feel alive. Also to let them know that life is meaningful, not that they were born and entered society then disappeared.

"
Expressing yourself means telling the Earth I exist.

Now thanks to social networks, with just one click, we can express ourselves easily. The advantage is that everyone can speak up regardless of profession. And when negative opinions are shared, this too is part of development.

"
I have no idea until I start doing it.

This topic is actually very similar to my practice style, a style that is more about expression than ingenuity, prioritizing expressing personal feelings and not being constrained by the standards of traditional painting. My way of working is usually no sketch in advance, I don't even know what idea I'm about to do, the idea only comes up when I start doing it. That's also how I express myself in the purest, limpidest, unedited way.

Thanks Teo Pham
